In studies involving a cyclic regularity, researchers usually have a good working knowledge regarding the peak t i m e in the cycle. Capitalizing on this information, we derive the asymptotically uniformly most powe@l unbiased test for detecting a cyclic rrend using the likelihood score, and present
The problem of testing for the significance of a linear trend in the presence of positively correlated errors is considered. Test criteria based on ordinary least squares, conditional maximum likelihood, estimated generalized least squares and maximum likelihood estimates tend to have higher signifi
