I thank all who replied to my first post regarding random number gereration in R. I have taken all your advice and read much about the gereration of random numbers. I have managed to find a few pieces of code that I have converted for my Java program and am now at the stage of testing these systems. I have found a number of articles on the testing of random numbers and some nice tests that can be done. Are any of these in-built in R (such as the serial correlation, birthday spacings...). Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you David dcum007 at ec.auckland.ac.nz
Thank you to all who replied to my previous question regarding the generation of random numbers. I have read up on the literature and learnt a whole lot more. In my research I found code for many generators which I have translated into java for my project. I'm now at the stage of testing these generators and was wondering if there were any inbuilt (or if someone has written libraries for) testing commands in R. Are there any libraries for R that have the serial correlation test, the birthday spacing test or any of the other tests for randomness?? Thank you all David

Thank you to all who helped me with the generation of random numbers. I have read much and learned even more. I even found some code that I have translated into java and am getting seemingly random output. :) I was wondering if there were any libraries for R which test the 'randomness' of the generators. A birthday-spacings test or serial correlation test perhaps? Thank you for your help. David
