Install and import

npm install fintech-algorithms

import { adf } from "fintech-algorithms/statistical-time-series/diagnostics/augmented-dickey-fuller";

Signature

adf(values, lags, criticalValue)

Worked example

executed Captured by running this function on the input its own test provides. Real output of real code — but not asserted against a published figure.
