In the first step we will model relationship between the two variables cointegration equation such as in equation 1 in the second step, the adf test will be used to test for stationarity of the residual or the leftover deviations resulted after fitting the regression model. If the h0 unit root cannot be rejected, then the next step is to test cointegration among the components, i. Pdf selection of unit root test on the basis of length of the time.

Unit root testing the theory behind arma estimation is based on stationary time series. The logistic distribution is an sshaped distribution function cumulative density function which is similar to the standard normal distribution and constrains the estimated probabilities to lie between 0 and 1.
It is important to test for precointegration among the variables of each equation to avoid the wellknown spurious regression problem maddala. The null hypothesis of the augmented dickeyfuller ttest is. The distributedlag models discussed above are appropriate when y, x, and u are station ary time series. They differ in whether the null hypothesis includes a drift term and whether the regression used to obtain the test statistic. Autoregressive unit root tests are based on testing the null hypothesis. Thus, in addition to varying the end point of the regression r 2 from r 0 to 1, the gsadf test allows the starting point r 1 to change 0 to r 2.

Looking at the chart in figure 1, it appears that the time series has a trend, and so we repeat the adf test with constant and trend to get the results shown in range s4.

One way to test the existence of cointegration is the regression method see, engle. The latter two situations occur when the unit root test requires estimation of a regression with a parametric correction for serial correlation as in the adf and dfgls test equation regressions, and in the ar spectral estimator for.

I in simplest terms, the purpose of regression is to try to nd the best t line or equation that expresses the relationship between y and x. An alternative to the adf test is to correct the df test for autocorrelation.
If you include an intercept in the adf test regression, that means you are considering a random walk with drift if the null hypothesis is true. This equation corresponds to one of the basic models typically considered in the. The traditional statistical theory holds when we run regression using weakly or covariance stationary variables. As explained in time series testing tools, the time series testing data analysis tool can be used to perform the dickeyfuller test. For example, when we regress one stationary series onto another.
