Dear list,
I have implemented the test from Lee and Strazichich (2003, 2004) in R
and uploaded it to github. [1]
The advantage of this test is, that it endogenously determines the dates
of up to two possible structural breaks and
it includes these structural breaks under the null and also the
alternative hypothesis.
I also implemented a General-to-Specific Approach to determine the
number of lagged augmented terms to include in the test equation.
At the moment it's not very efficient in regard to computing time, so I
would be glad if someone could point out improvements to make the code
faster and more efficient.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Johannes Lips
