A test against trend in random sequences

arXiv:1906.00752

Abstract

We study a modification of Kendall's tau-test, replacing his permutations of n different numbers by sequences of length n, where repetition is allowed. In particular, binary sequences are included. Random sequences can be tested.

This is essentially a revision of REPORT-MAT-A234, Helsinki University of Technology 1986. (Some details are from REPORT-MAT-A131 (1978).)
