Conduct a runs up–based randomness test on a sequence of random reals between 0 and 1
ResourceFunction["RunCountRandomnessTest"][sequence] counts the number of increasing runs to assess randomness of sequence and returns an associated p-value. | |
ResourceFunction["RunCountRandomnessTest"][sequence,"property"] counts the number of increasing runs to assess randomness and returns the specified property. |
"TestStatistic" | returns the test statistic |
"PValue" | returns the p-value associated with the test |
Generate a sequence of random integers:
In[1]:= | ![]() |
Visualize the sequence:
In[2]:= | ![]() |
Out[2]= | ![]() |
Apply a run count-based test to the sequence:
In[3]:= | ![]() |
Out[3]= | ![]() |
In[4]:= | ![]() |
Out[4]= | ![]() |
Generate a sequence of random integers:
In[5]:= | ![]() |
In[6]:= | ![]() |
Visualize the sequence:
In[7]:= | ![]() |
Out[7]= | ![]() |
Attempt to reject a non-random sequence:
In[8]:= | ![]() |
Out[8]= | ![]() |
In[9]:= | ![]() |
Out[9]= | ![]() |
This test is not very powerful and fails to reject non-random sequences that repeat over longer intervals on occasion. Ideally, it should be used in conjunction with another test:
In[10]:= | ![]() |
In[11]:= | ![]() |
In[12]:= | ![]() |
Out[12]= | ![]() |
In[13]:= | ![]() |
Out[13]= | ![]() |
In[14]:= | ![]() |
Out[14]= | ![]() |
Visualize the sampling distribution of the test statistic:
In[15]:= | ![]() |
In[16]:= | ![]() |
Out[16]= | ![]() |
In[17]:= | ![]() |
Out[17]= | ![]() |
In[18]:= | ![]() |
Out[18]= | ![]() |
