Testing for a unit root in an ar(1) model using three and four moment approximations: symmetric distributions

Three-moment chi-square and four moment F approximations are given which can be used for testing a unit root in an AR(1) model when the innovations have one of a very wide family of symmetric distributions (Student's t).
