In this paper, a simple and robust (point as well as interval) estimator of \beta based on Kendall's [6] rank correlation tau is studied. The point estimator is the median of the set of slopes (Y<sub>j</sub> - Y<sub>i</sub>)/(t<sub>j</sub> - t<sub>i</sub>) joining pairs of points with t<sub>i</sub> \ne t<sub>j</sub>, and is unbiased. The confidence interval is also determined by two order statistics of this set of slopes. Various properties of these estimators are studied and compared with those of the least squares and some other nonparametric estimators.},
