Table 1. Nonparametric test and test of stationarity for mean altitude and mean annual air temperature with regard to TBE, Slovakia, 1980–2004*.
Data | Test values |

---|---|---|---|---|---|
RS | p value† | KPSS | p value† | ||
Mean annual air temperature | 0.55 | 0.01 | 0.56 | <0.05 | |

*TBE, tick-borne encephalitis; Rs, Spearman rank correlation test, a nonparametric test; KPSS, Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin test, a test of stationarity (no change with time). †Probability of adopting the null hypothesis of randomness (Spearman RS) and stationarity (KPSS).
