Adaptive Chi-Square Test

Description

Performs Adaptive Chi-Square test of Ryabko et al.(2004) to evaluate the randomness of an RNG.

Usage

adaptive.chi.square(x, B, S, alpha = 0.05, prop=0.5, bit=FALSE)

Arguments

x	a vector or matrix that includes random data. See details for further information.
B	the length of words (B-bit) that the chippered file will be divided into.
S	the number of subsets where letters of an alphabet are combined, and S ≥ 2
alpha	a predetermined value of significance level with the default value of 0.05.
prop	a predetermined value of proportion of training data set.
bit	if x contains a sequence of bits, bit is set TRUE. Otherwise, a sequence of integers is entered and bit is set FALSE.

Details

It is possible to apply adaptive Chi-Square to smaller samples than that required for the regular chi-square test.

If x contains a sequence of bits, then x should be a matrix of Bxk, where k is the number of words (integers) generated by the RNG of interest. Otherwise, x is a kx1 vector of the words. Because bits will be converted to base 10 before application of the test, implementation time will be shorter with integer input.

The degrees of freedom of the resulting chi-square test is S-1. The value of S should be much less than 2^B.

Value

statistic	calculated value of the test statistic.
p.value	p-value of the test.
result.acsq	returns 0 if H0 is rejected and 1 otherwise.

Examples

RNGkind(kind = "Super-Duper")
B=16                  # Bit length is 16.
k=5000                # Generate 5000 integers.
x=0
x=round(runif(k,0,(2^B-1)))
S=2                   # Divide alphabet to two subsets.
alpha = 0.05
test=adaptive.chi.square(x, B, S, alpha, bit =FALSE)
print(test)
