### 5. Stationarity Tests ⚠️ PARTIAL VALIDATION

Statistical tests for detecting non-stationarity, unit roots, and structural breaks.

**Production-Ready Functions:**

**`adf_test(x, regression='c', maxlag=None)` ✅**
```python
# Augmented Dickey-Fuller test for unit root
adf_stat, pvalue = bs.adf_test(data, regression='c', maxlag=None)

```python
# KPSS stationarity test
kpss_stat, pvalue = bs.kpss_test(data, regression='c', nlags='auto')
```
**Known issue:** Test statistic shows 8.4% deviation from statsmodels (0.1948 vs 0.1797). Successfully identifies random walks but needs calibration for stationary series.

**`variance_ratio_test(x, lags=2)` ⚠️**
```python
# Variance ratio test for random walk hypothesis
vr, z_score, pvalue = bs.variance_ratio_test(data, lags=2)
```
**Under active development** - Current implementation returns VR=0.571 for differenced random walk (expected: 0.8-1.2).

**Additional Functions (Validated):**
- ✅ `integration_order_test()` - Integration order estimation
- ✅ `trend_stationarity_test()` - Trend stationarity detection
- ✅ `seasonal_diff_test()` - Seasonal differencing test
- ✅ `seasonal_unit_root_test()` - Seasonal unit root test

**`zivot_andrews_test(x, ...)` ⚠️**
```python
# Structural break detection with Zivot-Andrews test
```
**Critical issue:** Test enters infinite loop or requires excessive computation time (>5 minutes). Algorithmic optimization required for v0.3.
