I found there is serious difference between the result of ADF test in R and
Eviews, for this data :
V1
1  -0.075851693
2  -0.046125504
3  -0.009117161

R results says, Unit root hypothesis can not be rejected :
Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test

data:  dat 
Dickey-Fuller = -3.5458, Lag order = 1, p-value = 0.0554
alternative hypothesis: stationary 


However below the Eviews result

Null Hypothesis: SERIES02 has a unit root				
Exogenous: Constant				
Lag Length: 1 (Fixed)				
				
			t-Statistic	  Prob.*
				
Augmented Dickey-Fuller test statistic			-3.992560	 0.0048
Test critical values:	1% level		-3.689194	
	5% level		-2.971853	
	10% level		-2.625121	
				
*MacKinnon (1996) one-sided p-values.				
				
				
Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test Equation				
Dependent Variable: D(SERIES02)				
Method: Least Squares				
Date: 01/21/09   Time: 09:16				
Sample (adjusted): 3 30				
Included observations: 28 after adjustments				
				
Variable	Coefficient	Std. Error	t-Statistic	Prob.  
				
SERIES02(-1)	-0.728468	0.182456	-3.992560	0.0005
D(SERIES02(-1))	-0.182826	0.154154	-1.185993	0.2468
C	0.046094	0.012152	3.793043	0.0008
				
R-squared	0.510689	    Mean dependent var		0.003146
Adjusted R-squared	0.471545	    S.D. dependent var		0.047487
S.E. of regression	0.034520	    Akaike info criterion		-3.793578
Sum squared resid	0.029791	    Schwarz criterion		-3.650842
Log likelihood	56.11010	    F-statistic		13.04615
Durbin-Watson stat	2.127111	    Prob(F-statistic)		0.000132
				
Therefore Eviews rejects the null of unit root. 

Have you face this kind of problem earlier or I am missing something?
