Ties were broken by order of appearance, of which there are few. A coefficient near zero means the column has no monotonic trend across the series; a negative coefficient means the column falls as the series progresses. This is a non-parametric trend test on 26 points, not a forecast, and it says nothing about how large any trend is in the column's own units.","unit":"ratio","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
