Comments from John Hamer

• "buzhash has a Entropy greater than 7 just after sample_size 300. So i choose 300 as a sample size." — 7 is arbitrary. Why not 7.5? Or 7.9? Or 7.99? You need explanations that stand up to scrutiny.

• very nice table of results

• "I am still looking at the randomness meaning of the individual output parameters" — 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.

• Base256 coming up with all values equal! is interesting, and deserves comment.

What you have done so far is good. It'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.
