Structural Break KPSS Test/Evidence
Method evidence record

Structural Break KPSS Test

The structural break KPSS test extends the standard Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) stationarity test to allow for one or more known or unknown structural breaks in the level or trend of a time series. Under the null hypothesis the series is stationary around a broken deterministic component, enabling researchers to distinguish genuine unit-root behaviour from apparent non-stationarity caused by regime shifts.
