Abstract

For sequences of independent random variables having a Bernoulli distribution the joint distribution and the limit joint distribution of statistics of three tests of the NIST statistical package («Monobit Test», «Frequency Test within a Block», and «Cumulative Sums Test») are obtained. In the case when two blocks are used in «Frequency Test within a Block», pairwise covariance of these statistics is given.
