 | A Pseudorandom number sequence is a sequence of numbers that has been computed by some defined arithmetic process but is effectively a random number sequence for the purpose for which it is required. |
| This sequence is known as a chip and the inverse of its period as chip rate. |
| Pseudorandom noise is used in some electronic musical instruments, either by itself or as an input to subtractive synthesis. |
| Definition: pseudorandom number sequence (111 words) |
| An ordered set of numbers that has been determined by some defined arithmetic process but is effectively a random number sequence for the purpose for which it is required. |
| A sequence of numbers that satisfies one or more of the standard tests for statistical randomness. |
| Note: Although a pseudorandom number sequence appears to lack any definite pattern, it will repeat after a very long time interval or after a very long sequence of numbers. |
