RAND_ART.ZIP Computer Generated Random Numbers THis paper presents a number of techniques for analyzing a computer generated sequence of random numbers. Some background theory in probability theory and inferential statistics is presented, and a number of empirical tests are presented along with example programs which apply the tests to several popular random number generators including the VAX Run-Time Library routine MTH$RANDOM used by the FORTRAN intrinsic function RAN and by the VAX BASIC function RND, the standard ANSI C rand() function used by VAX C, and the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm. For comparison the sample programs also apply the tests to the obsolete RANDU random number generator.
