◆ clib_chisquare()

f64 clib_chisquare ( u64 values)

Compute the X2 test statistic for a vector of counts.

Each value element corresponds to a histogram bucket.

Typical use-case: test the hypothesis that a set of octets are uniformly distributed (aka random).

In a 1-dimensional use-case, the result should be compared with the critical value from chi square tables with vec_len(values) - 1 degrees of freedom.

Parameters
[in]valuesvector of histogram bucket values
Returns
d - Pearson's X2 test statistic

◆ standalone_random_default_seed

u32 standalone_random_default_seed = 1

Value can be overridden by platform code from e.g. machine's clock count register.
