you need
to convert the commas in the data to periods.
A Dickey-Fuller test indicates that your series is stationary.
Therefore, transformation to stationarity may not be needed. You
construct an intervention dummy-named Interv--equal to zero up to time
22 and equal to 1 from 22 on.
You could then try to test for autocorrelation--corrgram would
suffice.
But correlogram analysis would not reveal any significant
autocorrelation or moving average innovations. Hence, you would run an
arima y Interv, arima(0,0,0)
You would not find that the interv dummy is statistically
significant with these data, whether you request robust or nonrobust
standard errors.
