Overview

About

Maintained by Muhammad AlkhalafFirst published 2026-03-191 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements cointegration tests with structural breaks designed for small sample sizes, following the methodology of Trinh (2022) https://ideas.repec.org/p/ema/worpap/2022-01.html. Supports models with no breaks, breaks in constant only, and breaks in both constant and slope. Provides endogenous break date detection using ADF or SSR minimization criteria, with small-sample adjusted critical values via response surface methodology.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-cointsmall

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-cointsmall

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-cointsmall

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
