Abstract: | This paper presents the results of a comprehensive empirical analysis of the screening measure of multiple recursive generators (MRGs) of orders one and two. Two kinds of screening measures are distinguished: spectral test and lattice test. With regard to these screening measures, two exhaustive searches of the twenty best MRGs of orders one and two are conducted. Some empirical comparisons reveal that the screening procedure with maximum spectral value criterion is preferred in terms of efficiency and thus, is a good way of obtaining ideal MRGs of higher orders. Several extensively tested second-order MRGs are also presented and are therefore recommended. |
