Runs Up Test

The runs up test runsup measures how long ascending runs are for a series of numbers of a given size. Runs of 6 or more are accumulated together as a single count.

The result of the test is measured by the chi square test.

Syntax

The syntax for runsup is:

      runsup size

Example:

      runsup 4000

This example produces a pattern of ascending run lengths for 4000 consecutive numbers.

The result should fall within the range given by the program 99 percent of the time.


Runs Down Test

The runs down test runsdown measures how long descending runs are for a series of numbers of a given size. Runs of 6 or more are accumulated together as a single count.

The result of the test is measured by the chi square test.

Syntax

The syntax for runsdown is:

      runsdown size

Example:

      runsdown 4000

This example produces a pattern of descending run lengths for 4000 consecutive numbers.

The result should fall within the range given by the program 99 percent of the time.
