The fragility of the KPSS stationarity test
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stationarity tests exhibit extreme size distortions if the observable process is stationary yet highly persistent. In this paper we provide a theoretical explanation for the size distortion of the KPSS test for DGPs with a broad range of first order autocorrelation coefficient. Considering a near-integrated, nearly stationary process we show that the asymptotic distribution of the test contains an additional term, which can potentially explain the amount of size distortion documented in previous simulation studies.

The Seasonal KPSS Test: Examining Possible Applications with Monthly Data and Additional Deterministic Terms
The literature has been notably less definitive in distinguishing between finite sample studies of seasonal stationarity than in seasonal unit root tests. Although the use of seasonal stationarity and unit root tests is advised to determine correctly the most appropriate form of the trend in a seasonal time series, such a use is rarely noted in the relevant studies on this topic. Recently, the ...

sts15 Tests for stationarity of a time series Christopher F. Baum, Boston College, [email protected] Abstract: Implements the Elliott–Rothenberg–Stock (1996) DF-GLS test and the Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (1992) KPSS tests for stationarity of a time series. The DF-GLS test is an improved version of the augmented Dickey–Fuller test. The KPSS test has a null hypothesis of stationarity and may be...
متن کاملA robust version of the KPSS test, based on indicators
This paper proposes a test of the null hypothesis of stationarity that is robust to the presence of fat-tailed errors. The test statistic is a modified version of the so-called KPSS statistic. The modified statistic uses the ”sign” of the data minus the sample median, whereas KPSS used deviations from means. This ”indicator” KPSS statistic has the same limit distribution as the standard KPSS st...
متن کاملS 1 . Additional Methodological Details and Sensitivity Analysis
The Phillips-Perron unit root test was used to test for unit roots, using level or trend nonstationarity as the null [1]. (A unit root tests whether a variable y evolves as a random walk, i.e., with the dynamic relation yt = yt-1 + constant + deterministic trend + errort.) The KPSS test [1,2], which uses level or trend stationarity as the null, was used to confirm the results of the Phillips-Pe...
متن کاملDetermination of Climate Changes on Streamflow Process in the West of Lake Urmia With Used to Trend and Stationarity Analysis
One of the most important hydrological time series task is to determine if there is any trend in the data and how to achieve stationarity when there is nonstationarity behavior in data. Detecting trend and stationarity in hydrological time series may help us to understand the possible links between hydrological processes and global climate changes. In this study yearly, monthly and daily stream...
