Abstract
Abstract We consider the problem of testing the hypothesis that the tested sequence is a sequence of independent random variables that take values 1 and –1 with equal probability. To solve this problem, the Discrete Fourier Transform (spectral) test of the NIST package uses the statistic TFourier, the exact limiting distribution of which is unknown. In this paper a new statistic is proposed and its limiting distribution is established. This new statistic is a slight modification of TFourier. A hypothesis about the limit distribution of TFourier is formulated, which is confirmed by numerical experiments presented by Pareschi F., Rovatti R. and Setti G.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide the latest information on the development of discrete mathematics in the former USSR to a world-wide readership. The journal will contain papers from the Russian-language journal Diskretnaya Matematika, the only journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences devoted to this field of mathematics. Discrete Mathematics and Applications will cover various subjects in the fields such as combinatorial analysis, graph theory, functional systems theory, cryptology, coding, probabilistic problems of discrete mathematics, algorithms and their complexity, combinatorial and computational problems of number theory and of algebra.
