Unit root test

Unit root test

A unit root test tests whether a time series variable is non-stationary using an autoregressive model. The most famous test is the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test. Another test is the Phillips-Perron test. Both these tests use the existence of a unit root as the null hypothesis.
