RANDOM: A Computer Program for Evaluating Pseudo-Uniform RANDOM Number Generators.

Abstract

The RANDOM computer program evaluates the usefulness of pseudo-uniform random number generators. RANDOM was written in FORTRAN IV for the CDC 6700 computer system at the Naval Surface Weapons Center, Dahlgren. This program can also be used to evaluate candidate pseudo-uniform random number generators designed for use on any other computer system. RANDOM subjects the candidate generator to 11 different statistical tests designed to detect departures from randomness. These tests serve as useful tolls for determining the adequacy of a candidate generator. (Author)
