It is +able to generate several statisical information of a stream. A stream can +be either standard input or given files. Stan can be used in order to analyse +encrypted data or to measure the quality of a pseudo random number generator. + +There are three types of statistics generated by Stan: + + - General Statistics + General statistical standard values are based on the bytes of the input + stream. Stan is able to calculate the mean, the median, the deviation + and the chi-squared value of the given stream. + + - Pattern Statistics + It is possible to do pattern analysis up to a specified pattern length. + Stan will analyse the patterns inside the stream and output the most + used patterns and the range of patterns used. + + - Bit Statistics + By analysing the bit of the given stream and dividing them into run, + sequences of the same bit, stan is able to show information that are + useful for analysing pseudo random numbers. Stan calculates ratios + between run lengths and 0 runs to 1 runs. + +WWW: http://www.r0q.cx/stan/ |
