I have a lengthy paper on the analysis of Excel's Stat, the faults and errors. I have a long section on analysis of RAND which was used in all versions of Excel from Excel 94 to Excel 2002. Excel 2003 changed the RNG, and I have no details. Actually RAND holds up pretty good to testing.
The paper is unpublished. Still making revisions to fit the Excel 2003 changes. Paper runs about 220 pages. Contact me for details.
David Heiser
I'd like a copy of this paper, please.
BTW, I'm sorry to bother everyone on the list, but my attempt to get the paper directly by sending an email to the author's gvn.net address bounced (I changed the @ to "aat" in the email addresses below):
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<daheiser aat gvn.net>
(reason: 550 Host unknown)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.2 <daheiser aat gvn.net>... Host unknown (Name server: gvn.net: host not found)
Then I googled "David Heiser" in case he has another email address somewhere, but no luck.
So, since I'm really interested in the paper, I figured I'd ask for it by sending an email to the list. Once again, sorry for the bother (and long winded explanation!).
