Alex Herbert resolved RNG-122.
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.3
Resolution: Implemented
In master.
> Change SeedFactory random source
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: RNG-122
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-122
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: simple
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Reporter: Alex Herbert
> Assignee: Alex Herbert
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 1.3

> The SeedFactory uses {{XOR_SHIFT_1024_S}}. This has a systematic failure in
> BigCrush using the lower 32-bit bit in reverse order:
> [Xorshift1024*, xorshift1024+, xorshift128+ and xoroshiro128+ fail
> statistical tests for
> linearity|https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377042718306265?dgcid=author]
> I have tested {{XOR_SHIFT_1024_S}} and {{XOR_SHIFT_1024_S_PHI}} using 10 runs
> of BigCrush and see the following results:

> Update the SeedFactory to use a different generator.
