Seasonal Kendall Test for Trend US Geological Survey, 2005 Data set: Example SK2c - Seasonal Kendall test, input type 2 The record is 50 complete water years with 6 seasons per year beginning in water year 2. The tau correlation coefficient is 0.028 S = 206. z = 0.763 p = 0.4457 p = 0.5824 adjusted for correlation among seasons (such as serial dependence) The adjusted p-value should be used only for data with more than 10 annual values per season. The estimated trend may be described by the equation: Y = 0.000 + 0.000 * Time where Time = Year (as a decimal) - 1.75 (beginning of first water year)
