Abstract

We propose a test of the hypothesis of stochastic monotonicity. This hypothesis isof interest in many applications. Our test is based on the supremum of a rescaledU-statistic. We show that its asymptotic distribution is Gumbel. The proof is difficultbecause the approximating Gaussian stochastic process contains both a stationaryand a nonstationary part and so we have to extend existing results that only applyto either one or the other case.
