\title{\I{Phillips}-\I{Perron} Test for Unit Roots}
\usage{
PP.test(x, lshort = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{a numeric vector or univariate time series.}
  \item{lshort}{a logical indicating whether the short or long version
    of the truncation lag parameter is used.}
}
\description{
  Computes the \I{Phillips}-\I{Perron} test for the null hypothesis that
  \code{x} has a unit root against a stationary alternative.
}
\details{
  The general regression equation which incorporates a constant and a
  linear trend is used and the corrected t-statistic for a first order
  autoregressive coefficient equals one is computed.  To estimate
  \code{sigma^2} the \I{Newey}-\I{West} estimator is used.  If \code{lshort}
  is \code{TRUE}, then the truncation lag parameter is set to
  \code{trunc(4*(n/100)^0.25)}, otherwise
  \code{trunc(12*(n/100)^0.25)} is used.  The p-values are
  interpolated from Table 4.2, page 103 of
  \bibcite{Banerjee \abbr{et al.}\sspace(1993)}.

  Missing values are not handled.
}
\value{
  A list with class \code{"htest"} containing the following components:
  \item{statistic}{the value of the test statistic.}
  \item{parameter}{the truncation lag parameter.}
  \item{p.value}{the p-value of the test.}
  \item{method}{a character string indicating what type of test was
    performed.}
  \item{data.name}{a character string giving the name of the data.}
