How do you prove covariance stationarity?
A sequence of random variables is covariance stationary if all the terms of the sequence have the same mean, and if the covariance between any two terms of the sequence depends only on the relative positions of the two terms, that is, on how far apart they are located from each other, and not on their absolute position …
How do I check if a data is stationary in R?
To check if a time series is stationary, we can use Dickey-Fuller test using adf. test function of tseries package. For example, if we have a time series object say TimeData then to check whether this time series is stationary or not we can use the command adf.
Which is the best Test to check stationarity?
Two tests for checking the stationarity of a time series are used, namely the ADF test and the KPSS test. Detrending is carried out by using differencing technique and the same will be covered in future articles on Statistical tests to check stationarity in Time Series.

How to do a stationarity test in R?
There is a stationarity () from {fractal} package in R; which uses PSR test based on spectral analysis; and hwtos2 from {locits}, which uses wavelet spectrum test. That answer can be found on the following link: http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/~guy/Research/LSTS/TOS.html
Are there better tests that account for changes in variance?
While the first series is found to be stationary by all four tests, the tests have issues with the other series, especially series with changing variance are missclassified in many cases. Do you know if there are better tests that account for changes in variance and/or covariance?
What is the definition of weak stationarity?
With autocovariance functions, we can define the covariance stationarity, or weak stationarity. Inthe literature, usually stationarity means weak stationarity, unless otherwise specified. Definition 2(Stationarity or weak stationarity) The time series{Xt, t∈Z}(where Zis theinteger set) is said to be stationary if(I)E(X2
