Empirical Tests for Statistical Properties of Some Pseudorandom Number Generators

摘要

Statistical properties of software pseudorandom number generators are tested based on uniform distribution on a unit hypercube with dimensions from 1 to 15. Some CLHEP generators, the Mersenne Twister generator and the MCNP generator, are tested. Parts of the pseudorandom number sequences with poor statistical properties are found. Easy-to-rectify flaws of two CLHEP generators are detected.
