It is assumed that some parametric model such as a linear trend is appropriate for modelling the deterministic part of the drift. The random part of the drift is assumed to be adequately described by a random walk model. The chosen drift model is determined by least squares and a model check is carried out. If the model check is satisfied, the derived drift model is applied to determine degrees of equivalence. A star-type sequence is required for the comparison in order to check the adequacy of the random drift model. The procedure is illustrated by its application to simulated data.", pages = "883-893(11)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/klu/mete/2005/00000048/00000009/00000239" doi = "doi:10.1007/s11018-005-0239-1" }
