Subsequence Test

The subsequence test subseq measures the distribution of the random number generator used in datagen for every N'th number. After a number is created and counted, the program bypasses interval numbers before the next number is created.

The subsequence test is measured by the chi square test. If the test passes, the numbers produced by datagen are spread evenly across the spectrum of possible numbers. Each number generated has an equal probability of occurrence.
