Abstract: | In the present study, we develop two nonparametric partially sequential tests for detecting possible presence of linear trend among the incoming series of observations. We assume that a sample of fixed size is available a priori from some unknown univariate continuous population and there is no sign of trend among these historical observations. Our proposed tests can be viewed as the sequential type tests for monitoring structural changes. We use partial sequential sampling schemes based on usual ranks as well as on sequential ranks. We provide detailed discussion on asymptotic studies related to the proposed tests. We compare the two tests under various situations. We also present some numerical results based on simulation studies. Proposed tests are extremely important in profit making in volatile market through Margin Trading. We illustrate the mechanism with a detailed analysis of a stock price data. |
