Augmented Dickey-Fuller test (ADF), The ADF test is a statistical method used to assess whether a time series is stationary – meaning its statistical properties (like mean and variance) do not change over time. A time series with a unit root is considered non-stationary and often exhibits non-mean-reverting behavior, which is a key concept in technical analysis.

adftest(data, n_lag, conf)
: Augmented Dickey-Fuller test for stationarity.
Parameters:
data (array) : Data series.
n_lag (int) : Maximum lag.
conf (string) : Confidence Probability level used to test for critical value, (`90%`, `95%`, `99%`).
Returns: `adf` The test statistic. \
`crit` Critical value for the test statistic at the 10 % levels. \
`nobs` Number of observations used for the ADF regression and calculation of the critical values.
