Can someone give examples where defective pseudo-random number generators gave incorrect simulation (or sampling, or polling, or gaming, …) results?
I am aware of the RANDU debacle and of
Ferrenberg, A. M., D. P. Landau, and Y. J. Wong. 1992. “Monte Carlo Simulations: Hidden Errors From “Good” Random Number Generators”. Physical Review Letters 69 (23): 3382–3384.
and
Peter Grassberger, "On correlations in 'good' random number generators," Physics Letters A, 181, 1993, 43-46.
and
Bauke, Heiko and Stephan Mertens, "Pseudo Random Coins Show More Heads than Tails," J. Stat. Phys. 114, 1149-1169, (2004)Normand, J.-
Any more? Maybe some that are less specialized?
(I am not looking for successful attempts to break encryption…)
