Random numbers can be defined as numbers that are defined for a certain range, their probability of occurrence is equal to each other, and there is no specific relationship between these numbers. Random number generators are tools used to generate random numbers. Some of the bit sequences obtained from these random number generators show poor statistical properties. For this reason, various post-processing algorithms are applied to the produced sequences in order to eliminate this weakness. In this article, major post-processing algorithms proposed so far have been examined and compared.

Son İşlem Algoritmalarının İncelenmesi

Öz

Rasgele sayılar, belirli bir aralık için tanımlanmış, oluşma olasılıkları birbirine eşit ve bu sayılar arasında belirli bir ilişki olmayan sayılar olarak tanımlanabilir. Rasgele sayı üreteçleri de rasgele sayıları üretmek için kullanılan araçlardır. Bu rasgele sayı üreteçlerinden elde edilen bit dizilerinin bazıları zayıf istatistiki özellikler göstermektedir. Bu nedenle üretilen dizilere bu zayıflığın giderilmesi amacıyla çeşitli son işlem algoritmaları uygulanmaktadır. Bu makalede şimdiye dek önerilen belli başlı son işlem algoritmaları incelenerek, karşılaştırılmaları yapılmıştır.
