Summary:
We gathered and analyzed random number sequences generated by human subjects. We focused on the types of symbols (number or ten Japanese alphabet), and the types of generation methods (oral calling out or keyboard pressing). For the types of symbols, there is strong non-uniformity in Japanese alphabet sequences, that is, the strong positive correlation with the order of the alphabet used. We would like to note the Japanese alphabet’s occurence frequencies are almost decreasing in the order of the position of the alphabet. And for the methods of generation, the subjects preferred central keys, whereas they reported no such preferences.
