In the context of Time Series Analysis, a unit root refers to:
A value of the parameter in the Auto-Regressive (AR) model that is equal to one.
A value of the parameter in the Auto-Regressive (AR) model that is equal to one.
A non-stationary time series with a unit root can make it difficult to model and forecast the time series accurately.
This is because the statistical properties of the series can change over time.
This is because the statistical properties of the series can change over time.
Unit roots can also cause spurious correlations and lead to misleading results in regression analyses.
This is why it is important to test for the presence of a unit root in time series data.

The ADF tests for the presence of a unit root in a time series.
If the null hypothesis of the ADF test is rejected (p-value lower than the significance level, typically 0.05), it means that the series is stationary and does not have a unit root.
If the null hypothesis of the ADF test is rejected (p-value lower than the significance level, typically 0.05), it means that the series is stationary and does not have a unit root.
This is an important step in time series analysis and forecasting.
By identifying the presence of a unit root, we can apply appropriate techniques to transform the data and make it stationary, allowing us to model and forecast the data accurately.
