Rcivecm

A cointegration package for R.

The general idea

R is lacking a proper package for thorough cointegration analysis of time series data. This project aims at remedying that. We seek to provide the full analytical power of the principles outlined primarily in Juselius(2007) and Johansen(1996). We will also aim at incoporating more modern extensions of these tools applying the bootstrap to correct statistics for features of non-normality.

The scope

The project focuses solely on linear cointegration in the I(1) framework, seeking to provide a fully fletched analysis suite for that particular framework. As such we are not going to develop functionality allowing for non-linearities, measurement errors, I(2) cointegration, fractional cointegration and so on. Packages handling those extensions should be developed independently.
