Implementation of hypothesis testing procedures described in Hansen (1992) <doi:10.1002/jae.3950070506>, Carrasco, Hu, & Ploberger (2014) <doi:10.3982/ECTA8609>, Dufour & Luger (2017) <doi:10.1080/07474938.2017.1307548>, and Rodriguez Rondon & Dufour (2024) <https://grodriguezrondon.com/files/RodriguezRondon_Dufour_2025_MonteCarlo_LikelihoodRatioTest_MarkovSwitchingModels_20251014.pdf> that can be used to identify the number of regimes in Markov switching models.
