Generalized Linear Models

The importance of random number generators has increased over the years. This follows from the fact that contemporary research methods rely more and more on simulation and the increased importance of encryption technology. The output of a random number generator is created by either an algorithm or a physical device. The most popular method for random number generation is through the use of an algorithm. This article presents a new category of physical random bit generator that is packaged by several manufacturers. A statistical analysis of the output from the generators is given.
