Compute Buishand Range Test, Pettit Test, SNHT, Student t-test, and Mann-Whitney Rank Test, to identify breakpoints in series. For all functions NA is allowed. Since all of the mention methods identify only one breakpoint in a series, a general function to look for N breakpoint is given. Also, the Yamamoto test for climate jump is available.
