RecursiveLSResults.cusum()[source]

Cumulative sum of standardized recursive residuals statistics

Returns:

cusum : array_like

An array of length nobs - k_exog holding the CUSUM statistics.

Notes

The CUSUM statistic takes the form:

W_t = \frac{1}{\hat \sigma} \sum_{j=k+1}^t w_j

where w_j is the recursive residual at time j and \hat \sigma is the estimate of the standard deviation from the full sample.

Excludes the first k_exog datapoints.

Due to differences in the way \hat \sigma is calculated, the output of this function differs slightly from the output in the R package strucchange and the Stata contributed .ado file cusum6. The calculation in this package is consistent with the description of Brown et al. (1975)
