Description Usage Arguments Details Value References Examples
When the time series data are not random and influenced by autocorrelation, the trend component is removed from the data and is prewhitened prior to the application of the trend test.

- Time series data vector |
The linear trend component is removed from the original data and then prewhitened using the lag-1 serial correlation coefficient. The prewhitening data are then tested with Mann-Kendall trend test.
Z-Value - Z statistic after trend-free prewhitening (TFPW)
Sen's Slope - Sen's slope for TFPW series
Old Sen's Slope - Sen's slope for original data series (x)
P-value - P-value after trend-free prewhitening
S - Mann-Kendall S statistic
Var(s) - Variance of S
Tau - Mann-Kendall's Tau
