Options

predictors_only – operational

Run stationarity tests on predictor columns only.

Restricts L1.5.C tests to the predictors_only column subset.

This option configures the stationarity_test_scope axis on the L1_5_C_stationarity_tests sub-layer of L1.5; output is emitted under manifest.diagnostics/l1_5/L1_5_C_stationarity_tests/ alongside the other selected views.

When to use

When the target is known stationary (growth rates, returns) and only the predictors are uncertain.

target_and_predictors – operational

Run stationarity tests on every column.

Restricts L1.5.C tests to the target_and_predictors column subset.

This option configures the stationarity_test_scope axis on the L1_5_C_stationarity_tests sub-layer of L1.5; output is emitted under manifest.diagnostics/l1_5/L1_5_C_stationarity_tests/ alongside the other selected views.

When to use

Default; comprehensive audit that catches surprises in either target or predictors.
