Abstract
This paper compares, by means of Monte Carlo simulations, three non‐parametric tests to detect a non‐decreasing trend in location parameters. The three tests are the Jonckheere—Terpstra test, the Cuzick test, and the Le test. We estimated power for each test across a wide variety of non‐decreasing location parameters under four different types of distributions. None of the tests produced an overwhelmingly higher power over their two competitors.Keywords
