Likelihood ratio test for no linear trend in VAR

Description

Conducts a likelihood ratio test for no inclusion of a linear trend in a VAR. That is, the Null hypothesis is for not including a linear trend and is assigned as 'H2*(r)'. The test statistic is distributed as \chi^2 square with (p-r) degrees of freedom.

Usage

lttest(z, r)

Arguments

z

An object of class ‘ca.jo’.

r

The count of cointegrating relationships.

Details

The count of cointegrating relations should be given as integer and should be in the interval 1 \leq r < P.

Value

lttest

Matrix containing the value of the test statistic and its p-value.
