Abstract: Does an LM test for linearity vs an alternative of smooth transition based upon lags of a known threshold variable in the preceding linear regression. The general idea (of testing interactions between regressors and terms from a Taylor expansion of the transition variable) is from Luukkonen, Saikkonen and Terasvirta(1988), "Testing Linearity against smooth transition autoregressive models", Biometrika vol 75, 491-499. The labeling and interpretation of the hypotheses is from Terasvirta(1994), "Specification, Estimation and Evaluation of Smooth Transition Autoregressive Models", JASA, vol 89, no. 425, pp 208-218.
