| Abstract: | A simple statistical method is presented which tests for non-randomness in a cyclic sequence. The distribution of the statistic is tabulated for short sequences, and a large sample approximation is derived. Significant values of the statistic are given for sequences of length up to 52. Easily used computer programs to carry out appropriate calculations are presented. |
