  1. Package forecast's newest version (8.3) contains a bug in ndiffs. An error arises when trying to run Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) tests. Therefore, BETS' report function does not work properly if the user opt for SARIMA analysis with ADF tests. A solution is to install forecast 8.2:
remove.packages("forecast")
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_version("forecast", version = "8.2", type = "source")
