Structural Break ADF Unit Root Test/Evidence
Method evidence record

Structural Break ADF Unit Root Test

The structural break ADF unit root test extends the standard Augmented Dickey-Fuller test to allow for one or more discrete shifts in the level or trend of a time series. Because ignoring a structural break inflates the apparent persistence of a series, this test prevents false acceptance of the unit root null when the series is actually stationary around a shifting mean or trend.
