Thank you for the suggestion.

I ran it and oddly enough I am getting contradicting results:


 > rollFun(x[1:100], 10, FUN = function(x) adfTest(x)$statistic)
NULL
Warning messages:
1: p-value smaller than printed p-value in: adfTest(x)
.......
.......
.......

These error messages appear for each single calculation.


However, performing the unit root test for that very interval (although 
not repetitive) the results are:

 > adfTest(x[1:100])

Title:
Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test

Test Results:
  PARAMETER:
    Lag Order: 1
  STATISTIC:
    Dickey-Fuller: -0.1627
  P VALUE:
    0.5612

I checked with the help pages of the adfTest and fMultivar, but can 
simply not figure out why I am receiving these error messages above.


How could I fix this?

Many thanks!

Sincerely,

Bernd Dittmann
