When testing longer chains we gonna start with a simple question: How many DIFFERENT DIGITS are contained in a chain of length L? Let us call this number the Variety of digits VOD. Here is an example for p with L=5. 14159 -> VOD = 4 26535 -> VOD = 4 89793 -> VOD = 4 23846 -> VOD = 5 26433 -> VOD = 4 83279 -> VOD = 5 50288 -> VOD = 4 41971 -> VOD = 4 69399 -> VOD = 3 37510 -> VOD = 5 The construction law for the VOD-distribution is easy to find. Let w(L,d) be the probability that a chain of length L consists of exactly d different digits. For L=1 we have even one digit: w(1,d)=1 for d=1 w(1,d)=0 for d>1 For L>1 any w(L,d) can be calculated from its predecessor: w(L+1,d) = w(L,d) x d/10 + w(L,d-1) x (10-d)/10 Finding a VOD=1 for L=5 is just the same as searching for a single digit run of length 5 (e.g. 11111). But analyzing single digit runs is limited to L~7 due to the available data. Thus testing variety of digits up to L=40 is a chance to get a better feeling for the regularity of single digit distribution. More than this the VOD can be an indicator for clusters. | |
