<p>1 revision(s)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Comments from John Hamer ==<br /> <br /> * &quot;buzhash has a Entropy greater than 7 just after sample_size 300. So i choose 300 as a sample size.&quot; &amp;mdash; 7 is arbitrary. Why not 7.5? Or 7.9? Or 7.99? You need explanations that stand up to scrutiny.<br /> <br /> * very nice table of results<br /> <br /> * &quot;I am still looking at the randomness meaning of the individual output parameters&quot; &amp;mdash; what are you doing to find out what they mean? This is a reflective essay, and you are supposed to articulate your problem solving strategies.<br /> <br /> * Base256 coming up with all values equal! is interesting, and deserves comment.<br /> <br /> What you have done so far is good. It&#039;s unfortunate that you chose a sample size that is a little bit too small. I think the statistical tests show better discrimination with larger samples.</div>
