<> I am doing Monte Carlo integrations on several different machines, and I am using several different random number generators. I don't know how reliable these generators actually are. Does anyone out there have a test program which will take the output of a random number generator and check the numbers produced to see whether they are suitable for use as random numbers? What tests are usually used to test random number generators? Thanks. -- Paul Schinder Astronomy and Astrophysics Center University of Chicago uucp: ..!ihnp4!oddjob!paul
