Random Numbers from Congruential Generator

Description

400 Triplets of successive random numbers were taken from the VAX FORTRAN function RANDU running under VMS 1.5.

Usage

data(randu)

Format

A data frame with 400 observations on 3 variables named x, y and z which give the first, second and third random number in the triplet.

Details

In three dimensional displays it is evident that the numbers fall in 15 parallel planes in 3-space.

Under VMS versions 2.0 and higher, this problem has been fixed.
