Random Walk Tests

Description

Performs random walk tests of Doganaksoy et al. (2006) to evaluate the randomness of an RNG. It runs Random Walk Excursion, Random Walk Expansion, and Random Walk Height tests.

Usage

random.walk.tests(x, B = 64, Excursion = TRUE, Expansion = TRUE, 
                  Height = TRUE, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

`x`	a matrix that includes random data in base-2 format. See details for further information.
`B`	the length of words (B-bit). See Details section.
`Excursion`	if `TRUE`, Random Walk Excursion test is applied.
`Expansion`	if `TRUE`, Random Walk Expansion test is applied.
`Height`	if `TRUE`, Random Walk Height test is applied.
`alpha`	a predetermined value of significance level with the default value of 0.05.

Details

Argument x should be entered as a matrix of bits of dimension Bxk, where k is the number of words (integers) generated by the RNG of interest.

If Excursion is TRUE, B takes the values 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256. If Height is TRUE, B takes 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024. If Expansion is TRUE, B takes 32, 64, and 128. Because theoretical cumulative distribution functions for the other word lengths, random.walk.tests() performs tests under given bit settings. If one of the tests is not applied, all the results related with that test in output are set to -1.
