In this study, a distribution-free test based on the difference between the numbers of upper and lower k-records is proposed for this situation. The exact and asymptotic distributions of the proposed test statistic are obtained for a random continuous sequence which is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). Also, a comparison between the proposed test and some well-known distribution-free tests is made in terms of empirical powers.enMonotonic trend in locationKth-recordsTop-k-listsArticle6819831102618-6470
