unitroot_test

Get Unit Root Test.

This function applies two renowned tests to assess whether your data series is stationary or if it contains a unit root, indicating it may be influenced by time-based trends or seasonality. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test helps identify the presence of a unit root, suggesting that the series could be non-stationary and potentially unpredictable over time. On the other hand, the Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test checks for the stationarity of the series, where failing to reject the null hypothesis indicates a stable, stationary series. Together, these tests provide a comprehensive view of your data's time series properties, essential for accurate modeling and forecasting.
