The following searches for help pages in contributed packages including terms "stationarity" or "unit root":

library(RSiteSearch)
st <- RSiteSearch.function('stationarity')
ur <- RSiteSearch.function('unit root')
ur. <- st|ur
nrow(st) #  68
nrow(ur) # 122
nrow(ur.)# 180
HTML(st&ur) # Shows the 10 with both terms
summary(ur.) # A summary by package
HTML(ur.) # Shows all 180 sorted by package then score for the help page.

You may also be interested in the Box-Ljung test. For this, try the following:

bl <- RSiteSearch.function('Ljung')
HTML(bl)


"The partial autocorrelations may be estimated by fitting successively autregressive processes of orders 1, 2, 3, ... by least squares ... and picking out the estimated phi.hat[1,1], phi.hat[2,2], phi.hat[3,3], ... of the last coefficient fitted at each stage." (Box and Jenkins, 1975, Time Series Analysis, Forecasting and Control, Holden-Day, sec. 3.2.6; see also "www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmc/section4/pmc4463.htm")

Your rules for reading ACF and PACF sound right to me. Hope this helps. Spencer Graves

How can I make sure the residual signal, after subtracting the trend extracted through some technique, is actually trend-free ? I would greatly appreciate any suggestion about some Stationarity tests.

I'd like to make sure I have got the difference between ACF and PACF right.
In the following I am citing some definitions. I would appreciate your thoughts.

ACF(k) estimates the correlation between y(t) and y(t-k)  like an ordinary 
correlation coefficient.
ACF is the simple ( i.e. unconditional ) correlation between a time series and 
it's lags thus
y(t)=a+b*y(t-k) gnerates the kth autocoreelation coefficient (b).

If we have form y(t)=a+b*y(t-1)+c*y(t-2) .. then (c)  is the PARTIAL 
AUTOCORRELATION COEFFFICIENT or in other words the
CONDITIONAL CORRELATION of lag 2 given lag1
PACF(k) estimates the correlation between y(t) and y(t-k) adjusted for the 
effects of y(t-1), ..., y(t-k+1).

Model identification is achieved by looking at the pattern of the ACF and PACF.
- If the ACF dies off exponentially, but the PACF has p spikes, AR(p) is 
indicated.
- If the ACF has  q  spikes and the PACF dies off exponentially, MA(q) is 
indicated.

The ACF and the PACF for the resulting stationary series is used to determine 
the best B/J model for the series according to the following rules:
 a.  If the ACF trails off and the PACF shows spikes, then an AR model with 
order p = number of significant PACF spikes is the best
      model.
 b.  If the PACF trails off and the ACF shows spikes, then an MA model with 
order q= number of significant ACF spikes is the best model.
 c.  If both the ACF and the PACF trail off then a ARMA model is used with p=1 
and q=1.

Thank you very much,

Thank you very much.
