One specification of the problem is treated in detail. It is also discussed how transformations and combinations can be used to get solutions for other specifications. A maximum likelihood ratio test based on non-parametric regression estimates is derived. A test with an upper limit for the size is presented. The power of the test is examined by a simulation study.43engTURNING POINTLIKELTIIOOD RATIONON-PARAMETRICMONOTONIC REGRESSIONUNIMODAL REGRESSIONText
