[2] The library implements several types of random number generators, including some proposed in the literature and some found in widely used software.
It provides general implementations of the classical statistical tests for random number generators, as well as several others proposed in the literature, and some original ones.
An initial battery of randomness tests for RNGs was suggested in the 1969 first edition of The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth.
Module 4 allows the researcher to study the interaction between a specific test and the structure of the point sets produced by a given family of RNGs.
