Continued fraction from entropy source testing

NIST publication 800-90B, Recommendations for the Entropy Sources Used for Random Bit Generation, contains an interesting continued fraction. Define a function where is the incomplete gamma function. NIST 800-90B gives [1] a continued fraction implement F, but the continued fraction includes a parameter k for no apparent reason. NIST cites a paper that in turn […] The post Continued fraction from entropy source testing first appeared on John D. Cook....
