This article introduces Sequence Generation 2008 (SeqGen2008), a Windows-based sequence generator. SeqGen2008 can generate simple sequences satisfying user-defined event probabilities or frequencies. The program can also generate context-sensitive sequences satisfying user-defined transition matrices that specify the probabilities or frequencies with which distinct events are to follow specific contexts. An analysis of the properties and behavior of the algorithms employed by SeqGen2008 reveals that the algorithms are unbiased in their generation of sequences.
本文介绍了序列生成器2008(SeqGen2008),这是一个基于Windows的序列生成程序。SeqGen2008可以生成满足用户定义的事件概率或频率的简单序列。该程序还可以生成满足用户定义的转移矩阵的上下文相关序列,这些转移矩阵指定了不同事件跟随特定上下文的概率或频率。对SeqGen2008所采用算法的属性和行为进行分析后发现,这些算法在生成序列时是无偏差的。
