Syntax

PROBDF(x, n [ , d [ , type ]] )

Description

x
is the test statistic.

n
is the sample size. The minimum value of n allowed depends on the value specified for the second argument d. For d in the set (1,2,4,6,12), n must be an integer greater than or equal to max(2d,5); for other values of d the minimum value of n is 24.

d
is an optional integer giving the degree of the unit root tested for. Specify d=1 for tests of a simple unit root (1-B). Specify d equal to the seasonal cycle length for tests for a seasonal unit root (1- Bd). The default value of d is 1; that is, a test for a simple unit root (1-B) is assumed if d is not specified. The maximum value of d allowed is 12.

type
is an optional character argument that specifies the type of test statistic used. The values of type are
SZM
studentized test statistic for the zero mean (no intercept) case

RZM
regression test statistic for the zero mean (no intercept) case

SSM
studentized test statistic for the single mean (intercept) case
RSM
regression test statistic for the single mean (intercept) case

STR
studentized test statistic for the deterministic time trend case
RTR
regression test statistic for the deterministic time trend case

The values STR and RTR are allowed only when d=1. The default value of type is SZM.
