I have a challenge for ATOT

[Cattlegod]

Here is my sequence, I get a new number each hour. Is it possible to get the formula that generated this sequence?

Without knowing the interval of new numbers to derived numbers, it's probably pretty difficult.

It's certainly more effort than I'm willing to put forth.

Good day to you, sir.

 

[Sea Moose]

um.... I must quote barney on this one.



two plus two is foooor two plus two is foooor

this seems more like something that people in "Highly Technical" would be able to take care.

If you could give some more detail about how the numbers are being generated and what you mean by pseudo random then that would help.
I'm going to say that yes it is possible assuming that the numbers are being generated by a computer program. If it's just some guy picking numbers from a hat, then not so much.

 

[AmberClad]

It just looks like random numbers roughly between 0 and 25...

Or are you trying to figure out what seed was used to initialize the generator?

 

[Krazy4Real]

No, we won't do your homework for you.

 

[Fenixgoon]

just plotting the data offhand, looks like something a fourier transform could make simpler. but i don't do signal analysis

I was just shooting it out there if anyone had done anything like this before. For all I know it may not even be possible. Yes, they are generated by a computer algorithm from a seed. I'm trying to figure out what the next ~150 numbers or so will be.

And there's no way to know the interval size?

Do you wear a tophat, perchance?

Excel can do an FFT analysis. Google will show you the way. (It's not particularly quick or intuitive, but it works.)

The min would be 0, no max that I know of.

No, but I own a monocle and enjoy Grey Poupon from time to time.

Tut, tut.

 

[clamum]

I'm far too stupid for that. A sequence like 2, 4, 6, 8 I could fucking rock though. Good luck sir.

He means the interval between each number. Is it a set interval or at random times?
