Two nonparametric tests are proposed for the mixed design consisting of a randomized complete block and a completely randomized design to test for k nondecreasing treatment effects. The Hollander test and the Page test are used in randomized complete block design and completely randomized design, respectively. We compared the performance of the proposed tests against the Z_CombI, Z_CombII Page and Hollander tests. A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted comparing the estimated powers of the tests 3, 4 and 5 treatments under various treatment effects and three different underlying distributions. In conclusion, the two proposed tests have higher powers than the Page, Hollander, Z_CombI and Z_CombII tests.
