Qbasic Version of Msdn codeby qbguyAlthough the Wald-Wolfowitz test applies only to patterns with just two symbol types, you can often map arbitrary patterns to a Wald-Wolfowitz form. For example, if you have a sequence of integers such as {7, 9, 3, 4, 1, 6}, you can compute their average (5.0) and then map the sequence to symbols H and L, where H represents a number higher than the average and L is a number lower than the average: H H L L L H.
