unit_root
Perform Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test.
The ADF test is a popular method for testing the presence of a unit root in a time series. A unit root indicates that the series may be non-stationary, meaning its statistical properties such as mean, variance, and autocorrelation can change over time. The presence of a unit root suggests that the time series might be influenced by a random walk process, making it unpredictable and challenging for modeling and forecasting. The 'regression' parameter allows you to specify the model used in the test: 'c' for a constant term, 'ct' for a constant and trend term, and 'ctt' for a constant, linear, and quadratic trend. This flexibility helps tailor the test to the specific characteristics of your data, providing a more accurate assessment of its stationarity.
Example
from openbb import obb
stock_data = obb.equity.price.historical(symbol='TSLA', start_date='2023-01-01', provider='fmp').to_df()
obb.econometrics.unit_root(data=stock_data, column="close")
obb.econometrics.unit_root(data=stock_data, column="close", regression="ct")
