For fixed threshold and cointegrating vector, the model is linear, so estimation can be done directly by CLS (Conditional Least Squares). The search of the parameters values which minimize the residual sum of squares (SSR) is made upon a grid of potential values. The search on the threshold values is made upon existing ones, whereas the search for the cointegrating value is made by default based on a confidence interval around the estimate form linear model.
nthresh=1: estimation of one threshold model (two regimes) upon a grid of ngridTh values (default to ALL) possible thresholds and delays values.
nthresh=2: estimation of two thresholds model (three regimes) Conditional on the threshold found in model where nthresh=1, the second threshold is searched. When both are found, a second grid search is made with 30 values around each threshold.
The model can be either with a threshold effect on all variables ("All") or only on the error correction term (ECT) (argument "only ECT"). In the second case, the value for the middle threshold is taken a null, as in Balke and Fomby (1997).
