Abstract
Trend Analysis is aimed at projecting both current and future movement of observations through the use of time series data analysis which involves comparison of data over a sequential period of time to spot a pattern or trend. Mann-Kendell test is one of the most popular non-parametric trend test based on ranking of observations. The current paper describes Mann Kendall Test in the context of time series data analysis. It also presents a case study to demonstrate the implementation and advantage of using Mann Kendall Test over other trend analysis techniques
