One of these perhaps:
(>/@i.(>./,<./)) 3 1 4 5 NB. compare first occurrences of max , min
1
((i.>./) > (i.<./)) 3 1 4 5 NB. compare 1st occcurence of max with
that of min
1
... but if you want to detect a trend in some random process, you might
need to
consider the statistical significance of this result.

hi,
i can find the magnitude of the largest difference:

but how can i tell that the first minimum came
before the first maximum?
(and so, that there was a trend upwards)
