Abstract
Statistical validation of results for supporting the conclusions achieved in an experimental study is more and more demanded in research results. Although statistics are usually used in the analysis of results for comparing the performance of several algorithms, they could be used in other tasks, such as proper selection of parameters's value or study of the trend of a parameter. In this short paper, we describe a non-parametric test, the Page test, which can be used for predicting the order of experimental conditions. We include an illustrative example for using it on classification problems taking the well-known k-nearest neighbour algorithm.
