FCUSUM: Fourier CUSUM Cointegration Test

Overview

The FCUSUM package implements the Fourier CUSUM cointegration test for detecting cointegration relationships in time series data with structural breaks. The test combines:

• Fourier approximations to capture smooth structural changes
• CUSUM statistics to test for cointegration stability

Installation

# Install from GitHub (replace with actual repo)
# devtools::install_github("zedtaha/FCUSUM")

# Or install from source
# install.packages("FCUSUM_1.0.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

Usage

library(FCUSUM)

# Generate sample data
set.seed(123)
n <- 100
x <- cumsum(rnorm(n))
y <- 2 + 1.5 * x + rnorm(n)

# Run the Fourier CUSUM test
result <- fcum(y, x, kstar = 3)

# View results
print(result)
summary(result)

Key Features

• Automatic frequency selection using AICc criterion
• Critical values for different model specifications
• S3 methods for clean output formatting
• Comprehensive documentation and examples
