**Author: Dr. Merwan Roudane**

A comprehensive Python library for estimating **Multiple Threshold Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (MTNARDL)** models with support for arbitrary number of regimes.

## 📚 Overview

MTNARDL extends the standard NARDL framework by:

- **Multiple quantile-based thresholds** (not just positive/negative)
- **Endogenous threshold detection** via grid search (minimizing RSS)
- **Any number of regimes** (2, 3, 5, 10, or custom quantiles)
- **Complete statistical testing** suite

## 🔬 Methodology

Based on the following econometric papers:

- **Cho, Greenwood-Nimmo, and Shin (2020c)**: "Testing for the Threshold Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model"
- **Cho, Greenwood-Nimmo, and Shin (2020d)**: "The Threshold Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model"
- **Shin, Yu, and Greenwood-Nimmo (2014)**: Festschrift in Honor of Peter Schmidt
- **Pal and Mitra (2015)**: Economic Modelling, 51, 436-443
- **Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (2001)**: Journal of Applied Econometrics

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install mtnardl
```

Or install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/merwanroudane/mtnardl.git
cd mtnardl
pip install -e .
```

### Dependencies

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic 3-Regime TNARDL (like Stata tnardl)

```python
import mtnardl as mt
import pandas as pd

# Load your data
data = pd.read_csv('oil_prices.csv', parse_dates=['date'])
data.set_index('date', inplace=True)

# Estimate 3-regime TNARDL model
model = mt.MTNARDL(
    data=data,
    depvar='gasoline',
    threshold_var='crude_oil',
    control_vars=['volume'],
    n_regimes=3,
    max_lags=4,
    criterion='aic'
)

# Fit the model
model.fit(verbose=True)

# Print results
print(model.summary())
```

### 5-Regime Quintile MTNARDL (Pal & Mitra 2015)

```python
model5 = mt.MTNARDL(
    data=data,
    depvar='gasoline',
    threshold_var='crude_oil',
    n_regimes=5,
    threshold_method='quantile'
)
model5.fit()
```

### 10-Regime Decile MTNARDL

```python
model10 = mt.MTNARDL(
    data=data,
    depvar='gasoline',
    threshold_var='crude_oil',
    n_regimes=10,
    threshold_method='quantile'
)
model10.fit()
```

### Custom Quantiles

```python
model_custom = mt.MTNARDL(
    data=data,
    depvar='gasoline',
    threshold_var='crude_oil',
    quantiles=[0.25, 0.5, 0.75],  # Creates 4 regimes
    threshold_method='quantile'
)
model_custom.fit()
```

## 📊 Statistical Tests

### Bounds Test for Cointegration

```python
from mtnardl.tests import BoundsTest

bt = BoundsTest(model)
result = bt.test(case='case3')
print(bt.summary())
```

### Asymmetry Tests (Long-run, Short-run, Joint)

```python
from mtnardl.tests import AsymmetryTests

at = AsymmetryTests(model)
asym_results = at.test()
print(at.summary())
```

### Diagnostic Tests

```python
from mtnardl.tests import DiagnosticTests

dt = DiagnosticTests(model)
diag_results = dt.test()
print(dt.summary())
```

### QLR Test for Structural Breaks

```python
from mtnardl.tests import QLRTest

qlr = QLRTest(model)
result = qlr.test(trim=0.15)
print(qlr.summary())

# Plot F-statistics over potential break dates
qlr.plot()
```

## 📈 Visualization

### Dynamic Multiplier Plots

```python
from mtnardl.visualization import plot_dynamic_multipliers

fig = plot_dynamic_multipliers(model, horizon=20)
fig.savefig('multipliers.png', dpi=300)
```

### Stability Analysis (CUSUM/CUSUMQ)

```python
from mtnardl.visualization import plot_cusum, plot_cusumq, plot_stability

# Individual plots
plot_cusum(model, save_path='cusum.png')
plot_cusumq(model, save_path='cusumq.png')

# Combined plot
plot_stability(model, save_path='stability.png')
```

## 📋 Export Results

to_excel(model, 'results.xlsx',
         asymmetry_results=asym_results,
         diagnostics=diag_results,
         bounds_result=result)
