\title{Phillips \& Ouliaris Cointegration Test}
\description{
Performs the Phillips \& Ouliaris \code{"Pu"} and \code{"Pz"}
cointegration test.
}
\usage{
ca.po(z, demean = c("none", "constant", "trend"),
lag = c("short", "long"), type = c("Pu", "Pz"), tol = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{z}{Data matrix to be investigated for cointegration.}
\item{demean}{The method for detrending the series, either
\code{"none"}, \code{"constant"} or \code{"trend"}.}
\item{lag}{Either a short or long lag number used for
variance/covariance correction.}
\item{type}{The test type, either \code{"Pu"} or \code{"Pz"}.}
\item{tol}{Numeric, this argument is passed to \code{solve()} in
\code{ca.po()}.}
}
\details{
The test \code{"Pz"}, compared to the test \code{"Pu"}, has the
advantage that it is invariant to the normalization of the
cointegration vector, \emph{i.e.} it does not matter which variable
is on the left hand side of the equation. In case convergence
problems are encountered by matrix inversion, one can pass a higher
tolerance level \emph{via} \code{"tol=..."} to the \code{solve()}-function.
}
\value{
An object of class \code{ca.po}.
