Abstract
SUMMARY This paper is concerned with the problem of testing the existence of a trend in the means Gi of Poisson distributions. It is assumed that these means are changing exponentially, that is, log Gi = ci+/x2. A classical method is reviewed which is used for testing the hypothesis P = 0. The exact Bayesian distribution for P is derived and a Bayesian approximation suggested which proved to be very useful. Finally, a comparison of these three methods by means of numerical examples is made.
