Maple Share Library:  Statistics
================================

mark.ms		FILES: stats/mark.ms, stats/mark.dat
		A worksheet showing many examples of the new statistics package
		(worksheet needs to be able to read the file `mark.dat`;)

MaxPeriod	> readshare(spectral, stats);
		Returns true if a linear congruential generator with prime
		modulus p, multiplier a, and increment 0 produces the maximal
		period.

random.ms	FILE: stats/random.ms
		A worksheet showing an example of using the stats package to
		compute random observations from a Chi square distribution 
		and to look at them pictorially.

spectral	> readshare(spectral, stats);
		Tests how good a linear congruential random number generator
		is.  This is pseudo random number generator of the form

		    X[n+1] = a * X[n] mod m  where  X[1] = a

		The ``spectral test'' spectral(m, a, T) tests this generator
		up to T dimensions.  It is the most powerful known test.
