Jonckheere-Terpstra Test for Ordered Alternatives

The Jonckheere-Terpstra test is a nonparametric hypothesis test that detects a monotone trend across k ordered groups — testing whether the outcome rises (or falls) systematically as the group order increases. Developed independently by T. J. Terpstra (1952) and A. R. Jonckheere (1954), it is the directional, ordered-alternative counterpart to the Kruskal-Wallis test.
