Description Usage Arguments Details Value References Examples
The empirical distribution of the Mann-Kendall test statistic is calculated by bootstrapped resampling. The Hamed (2009) bias correction prewhitening technique can optionally be applied as the default for prewhitening before the bootstrapped Mann-Kendall test is applied (Lacombe et al., 2012).

Bootstrapped samples are calculated by resampling one value at a time from the time series with replacement. The p-value (p_s) of the resampled data is estimated by (Yue and Pilon, 2004):
p_s = m_s/M
The Mann-Kendall test statistics (S) is calculated for each resampled dataset. The resultant vector of resampled S statistics is then sorted in ascending ordering, where p_s is the rank corresponding the largest bootstrapped value of S being less than the test statistic value calculated from the actual data. M is the total number of bootstrapped resamples. The default value of M is 1000, however, Yue and Pilon (2004) suggest values between 1000 and 2000. If the user does not choose to apply prewhitening, this argument 'pw' can be set to NULL.
