URooTab is an R package that can conducts EViews unit
root tests and report them in tabular form.
While there are R packages and EViews add-ins available for presenting unit root tests in tabular form, none of them incorporates EViews procedures within the R environment. Specifically:
I wish I could conduct unit root using EViews routines in R, R Markdown or Quarto document
I wish I could dynamically import the results of the unit root tests individually or at once into R, R Markdown or Quarto document without switching between these applications back and forth.
I wish I could use an R function to report unit root test in a table style suitable for publication.
I wish I could automatically format the table in
Latex, html, pandoc and
markdown.
I wish I could do all of the above from R, R Markdown or Quarto without opening the EViews!!!
URooTab can be installed using the following commands in R.
install.packages("URooTab")
OR
devtools::install_github("sagirumati/URooTab")To run the package successfully, you need to do one of the following
Add EViews installation folder to path (Environment Variables).
Don’t do anything if the name of EViews executable is one of the
following: EViews13_x64, EViews13_x86,
EViews12_x64, EViews12_x86,
EViews11_x64, EViews11_x86,
EViews10_x64, EViews10_x86,
EViews9_x64, EViews9_x86,
EViews10. The package will find the executable
automatically.
Rename the Eviews executable to eviews or one of the
names above.
Alternatively, you can use set_eviews_path()
function to set the path the EViews executable as follows:
library(EviewR)
set_eviews_path("C:/Program Files (x86)/EViews 10/EViews10.exe")Please load the URooTab package as follows:
```{r} .
library(URooTab)
```The package can work with base R, R Markdown or Quarto document.
You can use URooTab in an R chunk in R Markdown or
Quarto document:
The uroot() function reports all the available test (ADF
and PP) at once. It is more suitable for Quarto document, which has both
tbl-cap and tbl-subcap chunk options.
To produce Table 8.1, use the R chunk below:
Notice the chunk option results: asis because
uroot() is designed to print all the tables (ADF and PP) in
the chunk. If you are producing multiple kable tables,
results: asis is necessary. You can also use
kableExtra package to further customise the table.
```{r}
#| label: URooTab
#| eval: true
#| results: asis
library(URooTab)
set.seed(1234) # for reproducibility
x=rnorm(100)
y=cumsum(x)
z=cumsum(y)
dataFrame=data.frame(x,y,z)
uroot(dataFrame, caption = "Unit Root Tests for x, y and Z")
```| Variables | None | Constant | Constant and trend | None | Constant | Constant and trend | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | -8.300*** | -8.396*** | -8.815*** | -8.274*** | -8.239*** | -8.214*** | I(0) |

| Z | 6.659 | 3.450 | -3.516** | 0.274 | -1.956 | -0.109 | I(2) |
In R Markdown or Quarto document, URooTab is smart
enough to recognise the document format and select the suitable table
format.
In base R, you can get the table printed in console in the format you
specify by the format argument.
We can create a dataframe as follows:
library(URooTab)
set.seed(1234) # for reproducibility
x = rnorm(100)
y = cumsum(x)
z = cumsum(y)
dataFrame = data.frame(x, y, z)To print ADF test results in latex format:
adf(dataFrame, format = "latex", info = "aic", caption = "ADF Unit Root Tests for x, y and Z")Or
uroot(dataFrame, format = "latex", test = "adf", info = "aic",
caption = "ADF Unit Root Tests for x, y and Z")The above code produces the following latex code:
\begin{table}[h]
\caption{ADF Unit Root Tests for x, y and Z}
\centering
\begin{tabular}[t]{llllllll}
\toprule
Variables & None & Constant & Constant and trend & None & Constant & Constant and trend & Decision\\
\midrule
X & -8.300*** & -8.396*** & -8.815*** & -7.494*** & -7.460*** & -7.445*** & I(0)\\
Y & 0.224 & -1.934 & 0.026 & -8.148*** & -8.259*** & -8.721*** & I(1)\\
Z & -2.379** & -2.084 & -2.938 & 0.233 & -2.221 & -0.033 & I(2)\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}To print PP test results in html format:
pp(dataFrame, format = "html", info = "aic", caption = "PP Unit Root Tests for x, y and Z")Or
uroot(dataFrame, format = "html", info = "aic", test = "pp",
caption = "PP Unit Root Tests for x, y and Z")The above code produces the following html codes in
console:
<table>
<caption>PP Unit Root Tests for x, y and Z</caption>

</table>The uroot() function is a generic function that can be
used to conduct any unit root test. Setting test="adf"
conducts ADF test, while test="pp" conducts PP test. If
test argument is not specified, the uroot()
function conducts all the test at once.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
