  2. Lehmer random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_random_number_generator

    The generator computes an odd 128-bit value and returns its upper 64 bits. This generator passes BigCrush from TestU01, but fails the TMFn test from PractRand. That test has been designed to catch exactly the defect of this type of generator: since the modulus is a power of 2, the period of the lowest bit in the output is only 2 62, rather than ...

  3. Randomness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness_test

    In some cases, data reveals an obvious non-random pattern, as with so-called "runs in the data" (such as expecting random 0–9 but finding "4 3 2 1 0 4 3 2 1..." and rarely going above 4). If a selected set of data fails the tests, then parameters can be changed or other randomized data can be used which does pass the tests for randomness.

    Checking that, using clock arithmetic on those values in turn: 8+0=8; 8+4=2; 2+7=9; 9+4=3. So the clock total is 3, meaning that the actual total also ends in 3 (which we've seen that it does). Any odd number of houses (in this case, 1 nonet) always have an arithmetic total ending in 5 - so, the only 'outie' we could add to change that 5 to a 3 ...

    [10]: 19 A similar generator suggested in Numerical Recipes [11] as RanQ1 also fails the BirthdaySpacings test. Vigna [9] suggests the following xorshift1024* generator with 1024 bits of state and a maximal period of 2 1024 −1; however, it does not always pass BigCrush. [5] xoshiro256** is therefore a much better option.

    Finally, if a generator period longer than 2 128 is required, the generator can be extended with an array of sub-generators. One is chosen (in rotation) to be added to the main generator's output, and every time the main generator's state reaches zero, the sub-generators are cycled in a pattern which provides a period equal to 2 to the power of ...

    result: 9; Add 5 + 9 = 14 so 4 is placed on the left side of the result and carry the 1. result: 49; Similarly add 7 + 5 = 12, then add the carried 1 to get 13. Place 3 to the result and carry the 1. result: 349; Add the carried 1 to the highest valued digit in the multiplier, 7 + 1 = 8, and copy to the result to finish. Final product of 759 × ...

  9. Infinitesimal generator (stochastic processes) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal_generator...

    In mathematics — specifically, in stochastic analysis — the infinitesimal generator of a Feller process (i.e. a continuous-time Markov process satisfying certain regularity conditions) is a Fourier multiplier operator [1] that encodes a great deal of information about the process.
