Inspired by the recent thread on PRNG, I began to wonder: suppose that I had a pseudorandom number generator that attempted to generate a nonuniform distribution. Suppose for instance that it was to generate a 0 bit 2/3 of the time, and a 1 bit 1/3 of the time.

How would one go about testing this PRNG against an idealized (similarly biased) PRNG?
