Scientific paper

General relativistic kinematics and the cosmological principle alone imply a
monotonicity constraint in the Hubble diagram, which we confront to present-day
supernova data. We use the running gradient method of statistical inference by
Hall & Heckman (2000). We find no significant departure from monotonicity. The
method seems well adapted and we recommend its use with future data.
