GAUSS Time-Series Panel Data (TSPDLIB)¶

Description¶

Unit root, cointegration, and causality testing tools for time series and panel data. Includes extensive coverage of testing in the presence of structural breaks.

Installation¶

The GAUSS Time Series and Panel data tests library can be installed and updated directly in GAUSS using the GAUSS package manager. It requires a working copy of GAUSS 23+.
