Statistical Complexity of Chaotic Pseudorandom Number Generators
Hilda A. Larrondo, Luciana De Micco, Claudio M. Gonzalez, Angelo Plastino and Osvaldo A. Rosso
Abstract
This chapter deals with the use of the Statistical Complexity Measure, as defined by Lopez Ruiz, Mancini and Calbet [Phys. Lett. A 209 (1995) 321–326] and modified by Rosso and coworkers [P. W. Lamberti, M. T. Martin, A. Plastino, O. A. Rosso; Physica A 334 (2004) 119–131] to characterize pseudo random number generators (PRNG’s) obtained from chaotic dynamical systems. It is shown that two probability distribution functions are required for a proper characterization: the first one is based on the histogram and is used to characterize the uniformity of the values in the time series; the second one is based on the permutation procedure proposed by Bandt and Pompe [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 (2002) 174102] and characterize the uniformity of patterns of several consecutive values of the time series.
