A Statistical Analysis of Generalized Feedback Shift Register Pseudorandom Number Generators
SIAM J. Sci. and Stat. Comput. Volume 8, Issue 6, pp. 1035-1051 (November 1987)
Issue Date: November 1987
We analyze the statistical performance of uniform pseudorandom numbers generated by the generalized feedback shift register (GFSR) algorithm of Lewis and Payne. Tests for equidistribution and for statistical independence of successive pseudorandom numbers are considered. We establish effective criteria for the choice of parameters in the GFSR algorithm which guarantee a good performance under these tests.
