GetPower: Simulation function to compute power for AR(1) alternative

Description

Compares the empirical power of unit-root tests using simulation. Various non-normal distributions may be selected.

Usage

GetPower(phi, n, NSIM = 1000, tests = c("DF", "MLEp", "MLEn", "MCT"), 
	noiseDist = c("normal", "t", "stable", "GARCH11"), df = 5, 
	ALPHA = 1.5, BETA = 0, alpha = 0.2, beta = 0.7)

Arguments

phi

AR(1) parameter or phi=1 if null is true

n

length of series

NSIM

Number of simulations

tests

available tests include: DF for Dickey-Fuller, MLEp for exact MLE using pivotal, MLEn - exact MLEn using normalized, MCT using Monte-Carlo test

noiseDist

distribution of innovations: "normal" for Gaussian; "t" for t-distribution; "stable" for stable distribution; "GARCH11" for GARCH

df

df for t-distribution

ALPHA

shape parameter of stable distribution in (0,2]

BETA

skewness parameter of stable in [-1,1]

alpha

GARCH(1,1) first parameter

beta

GARCH(1,1) second parameter

Value

List with the following components:

power

vector with estimated power for selected tests

phi

AR(1) parameter value

NSIM

Number of simulations used

MOE

margin of error for level 0.95 c.i.
