Multiplicative congruential pseudo-random number generators

D. Y. Downham and F. D. K. Roberts *

Department of Computational and Statistical Science, The University, Liverpool, UK

Congruential random number generators are discussed. Such generators are both computer and compiler dependent: this is discussed in relation to high level languages on a binary machine. One of the statistical tests, which has only occasionally been used, is shown to be more "sensitive" than the other tests.
