rtadfPval: Returns p-values based on a response surface function...

In icaspi99/rtadfr: Testing for Bubbles with R

Description

rtadfPval approximate p-values for the SADF test (Phillips,Wu and Yu, 2011) using the MacKinnon (1996) response surface function approach (Caspi, 2018).

Usage

rtadfPval(t, testStat, testType)

Arguments

t	Number of observations (i.e., length of the sample)
testStat	Test statistic
testType	Test type, either "adf", "sadf" of "gsadf".

Value

Numeric, p-value that corresponds to a user-specified test statistic.
