AbstractA test statistic for detecting the presence of a non‐linear trend in a sequence of independent observations is proposed. The test is useful for determining when the use of the non‐parametric slope estimator as a summary of the trend is appropriate. The asymptotic normality of the test is established and simulation results indicate its accuracy for practical applications. An example is used to illustrate the test.
