Abstract: When using nonparametric tests test time series data for trends, most require that the data the model independent and identically distributed. course, real-world data not always meet this requirement. For instance, the case auto regressive process, the successive observations the time series are not stochastically independent. result the usual Kendall's tau test not valid. This study will discuss the ect correlated error signicance levels and power Kendall's tau, the asymptotic distributions U-statistics for stationary ARMA process and the circular Bootstrap method. Modi cations these tests will developed test for trends non-independent stationary models. The signicance level and power for the Bootstrapping and Monte Carlo methods will simulated using the statistical software package version 2.9.2. Finally, these methods will applied example.
