β¦ Synopsis
The distribution of points (r,,, r,,+~), n = 0, 1,2,...whose coordinates are terms at distance s of the pseudorandom sequence generated by the Wichmann and Hill method is studied. It is known that for many congruential generators critical values of the distance s exist such that these points, far from being uniformly distributed, are concentrated on very few lines. An algorithm is described for computing the critical distances within the Wichmann Hill sequence and the results obtained are compared with those of other linear congruential generators.

Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) has been used widely to determine possible long-range correlations in data obtained from diverse settings. In a recent study [Z. Chen, P.Ch. Ivanov, K. Hu, H.E. Stanley, Effects of nonstationarities on detrended fluctuation analysis, Phys Rev E 65 ( 2002) 041107]
