Abstract

Given that the autocorrelations for any repeating number sequence are known, this paper gives an algorithm for determining the autocorrelation structure of a new sequence obtained from the original sequence by proper decimation. Therefore, for certain random number generators, it is possible to choose a proper decimation which results in a long interval in which the autocorrelations are small for all shifts.
