摘要：We propose a test of the hypothesis of stochastic monotonicity. This hypothesis
is of interest in many applications. Our test is based on the supremum of a
rescaled U-statistic. We show that its asymptotic distribution is Gumbel. The
proof is difficult because the approximating Gaussian stochastic process
contains both a stationary and a nonstationary part and so we have to extend
existing results that only apply to either one or the other case.
