Dear all R-users:

    In my case the series is the annual number of dry spell with their length 
exceeding a given threshold representing extreme events frequency. 

   1 0 2 2 1 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 2 3 4 0 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 0 1 2 2 2 3 4 2 0 2 1 2 2 
2 6 1 2 
4 1 3 1 2 1 3 4

I have been using Mann-Kendall test to estimate the trend. The result gives 
slope of 
zero value but signicant p value (at 95% level).Since there are many ties in 
the data, 
I wonder Mann-Kendall is a appropriate approach to test trends. Is there other 
statistial method to deal with trend?

Any suggestion is appreciated in advance

Regards
