An implementation of the Osborn, Chui, Smith, and Birchenhall (OCSB) test.
ocsb.test(x, lag.method = c("fixed", "AIC", "BIC", "AICc"), maxlag = 0)a univariate seasonal time series.
a character specifying the lag order selection method.
the maximum lag order to be considered by lag.method.
ocsb.test returns a list of class "OCSBtest" with the following components: * statistics the value of the test statistics. * pvalues the p-values for each test statistics. * method a character string describing the type of test. * data.name a character string giving the name of the data. * fitted.model the fitted regression model.
The regression equation may include lags of the dependent variable. When lag.method = "fixed", the lag order is fixed to maxlag; otherwise, maxlag is the maximum number of lags considered in a lag selection procedure that minimises the lag.method criterion, which can be AIC or BIC or corrected AIC, AICc, obtained as AIC + (2k(k+1))/(n-k-1), where k is the number of parameters and n is the number of available observations in the model.
Critical values for the test are based on simulations, which has been smoothed over to produce critical values for all seasonal periods.
