Many books on nonparametric methods include a chapter on regression. For example, Nonparametric Statistical Methods by Hollander and Wolfe discusses the Theil test for the slope of a regression line and estimators of slope and intercept associated with the Theil statistic. Applied Nonparametric Statistics by Wayne Daniel discusses the Brown-Mood method for estimating slope and intercept and for testing the joint hypothesis alpha=alpha_0 AND beta=beta_0.

Does anyone know if there is a NP test to compare with
linear regression?
Thanks,
