{{task|Probability and statistics}}
Given an equal-probability generator of one of the integers 1 to 5
as dice5; create dice7 that generates a pseudo-random integer from
1 to 7 in equal probability using only dice5 as a source of random
numbers, and check the distribution for at least 1000000 calls using the function created in [[Simple Random Distribution Checker]].
 
;Task:
dice7 might call dice5 twice, re-call if four of the 25
(Given an equal-probability generator of one of the integers 1 to 5
as <code>dice5</code>), &nbsp; create <code>dice7</code> that generates a pseudo-random integer from
1 to 7 in equal probability using only <code>dice5</code> as a source of random
numbers, &nbsp; and check the distribution for at least one million calls using the function created in &nbsp; [[Verify distribution uniformity/Naive|Simple Random Distribution Checker]].
 
 
'''Implementation suggestion:'''
<code>dice7</code> might call <code>dice5</code> twice, re-call if four of the 25
combinations are given, otherwise split the other 21 combinations
into 7 groups of three, and return the group index from the rolls.

The first step is to create 7-sided dice rolls from 5-sided dice rolls (<code>rollD5</code>):
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j">rollD5=: [: >: ] ?@$ 5: NB. makes a y shape array of 5s, "rolls" the array and increments.
roll2xD5=: [: rollD5 2 ,~ */ NB. rolls D5 twice for each desired D7 roll (y rows, 2 cols)
toBase10=: 5 #. <: NB. decrements and converts rows from base 5 to 10
Line 809 ⟶ 1,139:
groupin3s=: [: >. >: % 3: NB. increments, divides by 3 and takes ceiling
 
getD7=: groupin3s@keepGood@toBase10@roll2xD5</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Here are a couple of variations on the theme that achieve the same result:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j">getD7b=: 0 8 -.~ 3 >.@%~ 5 #. [: <:@rollD5 2 ,~ ]
getD7c=: [: (#~ 7&>:) 3 >.@%~ [: 5&#.&.:<:@rollD5 ] , 2:</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
The trouble is that we probably don't have enough D7 rolls yet because we compressed out any double D5 rolls that evaluated to 21 or more. So we need to accumulate some more D7 rolls until we have enough. J has two types of verb definition - tacit (arguments not referenced) and explicit (more conventional function definitions) illustrated below:
 
Here's an explicit definition that accumulates rolls from <code>getD7</code>:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j">rollD7x=: monad define
n=. */y NB. product of vector y is total number of D7 rolls required
rolls=. '' NB. initialize empty noun rolls
while. n > #resrolls do. NB. checks if if enough D7 rolls accumulated
rolls=. rolls, getD7 >. 0.75 * n NB. calcs 3/4 of required rolls and accumulates getD7 rolls
end.
y $ rolls NB. shape the result according to the vector y
)</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Here's a tacit definition that does the same thing:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j">getNumRolls=: [: >. 0.75 * */@[ NB. calc approx 3/4 of the required rolls
accumD7Rolls=: ] , getD7@getNumRolls NB. accumulates getD7 rolls
isNotEnough=: */@[ > #@] NB. checks if enough D7 rolls accumulated
 
rollD7t=: ] $ (accumD7Rolls ^: isNotEnough ^:_)&''</langsyntaxhighlight>
The <code>verb1 ^: verb2 ^:_</code> construct repeats <code>x verb1 y</code> while <code>x verb2 y</code> is true. It is like saying "Repeat accumD7Rolls while isNotEnough".
 
Example usage:

In this entry, the results for both a low-entropy and a
<lang lua>dice5 = function() return math.random(5) end
high-entropy 5-sided die are shown. The former uses the computer's
clock as a not-very-good PRNG, and the latter uses /dev/random in accordance
with the following invocation:
<syntaxhighlight lang=sh>
#!/bin/bash
< /dev/random tr -cd '0-9' | fold -w 1 | jq -Mcnr -f dice.jq
</syntaxhighlight>
The results employ a two-tailed χ2-test at the 95% confidence level
according to which we are entitled to reject the null hypothesis of
uniform randomness if the χ2 statistic is less than 1.69 or greater
than 16.013, assuming the number of trials is large enough.

{{works with|Rakudo Star|2010.09}}
<p>
Since rakudo is still pretty slow, we've done some interesting bits of optimization.
We factor out the range object construction so that it doesn't have to be recreated each time, and we sneakily <em>subtract</em> the 1's from the 5's, which takes us back to 0 based without having to subtract 6.
<lang perl6>my $d5 = 1..5;
sub d5() { $d5.roll; } # 1d5
 
The algorithm suggested in the task description requires on average 50/21 (about 2.38) calls to Dice5 for each call to Dice7. See the link in the VBA solution for a discussion on how to reduce this ratio. It cannot be made less than log_5(7) = 1.209062. The algorithm below is based on Rex Kerr's solution, and requires about 1.2185 calls to Dice5 per call to Dice7. Runtime is about 60% of that for the suggested simple algorithm.
sub d7() {
my $flat = 21;
$flat = 5 * d5() - d5() until $flat < 21;
$flat % 7 + 1;
}</lang>
Here's the test. We use a C-style for loop, except it's named <code>loop</code>, because it's currently faster than the other loops--and, er, doesn't segfault the GC on a million iterations...
<lang perl6>my @dist;
my $n = 1_000_000;
my $expect = $n / 7;
 
A chi-squared test can be carried out with the help of statistical tables, and is preferred here to an arbitrary "naive" test.
