Kendall's tau Correlation Test
       US Geological Survey, 2005

 Data set:  Example MKL4a - Mann-Kendall with LOWESS, input type 4      

 Flow-adjusted concentrations were calculated as
    residuals from a LOWESS smooth line (f =  0.50)
    for concentration vs. streamflow

 The tau correlation coefficient is -0.057
     S =   -179.
     z =  -0.740
     p =  0.4596

 The relation may be described by the equation:

    Residual =  3660.0     +   -1.852     * X
