\title{Zivot and Andrews Unit Root Test}
\description{
Performs the Zivot and Andrews unit root test, which allows a
break at an unknown point in either the intercept, the linear
trend or in both.
}
\usage{
ur.za(y, model = c("intercept", "trend", "both"), lag=NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{y}{Vector to be tested for a unit root.}
\item{model}{Specification if the potential break occured in either the intercept, the linear trend or in both.}
\item{lag}{The highest number of lagged endogenous differenced variables to be included in the test regression}
}
\details{
This test is based upon the recursive estimation of a test
regression. The test statistic is defined as the minimum t-statistic
of the coeffcient of the lagged endogenous variable.
}
\value{
An object of class \code{ur.za}.
