摘要：

The pseudorandom number generator in the FORTRAN library (function RAN) of the DECsystem-10 was tested for the statistical properties of an independent uniform random number generator. Five statistical tests were employed: the frequency test, serial test, lagged product test, test of runs up and down, and test of runs above and below the mean. The generator passed all tests. It was concluded that it could be used in applications that require a sequence of uniformly distributed random numbers. © 1979 Psychonomic Society, Inc.
