Performs the KPSS unit root test, where the Null hypothesis is
stationarity. The test types specify as deterministic component either
a constant "mu" or a constant with linear trend "tau".
Maximum number of lags used for error term correction.

User specified number of lags.

lags="short" sets the number of lags to
\(\sqrt[4]{4 \times (n/100)}\), whereas
lags="long" sets the number of lags to
\(\sqrt[4]{12 \times (n/100)}\). If lags="nil" is choosen,
then no error correction is made. Furthermore, one can specify a
different number of maximum lags by setting use.lag
accordingly.
