; Random error: Error that occurs due to natural variation in the process.

Random error is typically assumed to be normally distributed with zero mean and a constant variance.

Random errors will tend to cancel out as more measurements are made, due to regression to the mean ; systematic errors will be detected by differences between the measurements ( and will also tend to cancel out since the direction of the error will still be random ).

Random error often occurs when instruments are pushed to their limits.

Random mutations and sexual genetic variations can be viewed as trials and poor reproductive fitness, or lack of improved fitness, as the error.

* Random lockup, runtime error fix

Random error is caused by unpredictable fluctuations in the readings of a measurement apparatus, or in the experimenter's interpretation of the instrumental reading ; these fluctuations may be in part due to interference of the environment with the measurement process.

Random error is always present in a measurement.

Random error is always present in a measurement.

Random sampling, and its derived terms such as sampling error, imply specific procedures for gathering and analyzing data that are rigorously applied as a method for arriving at results considered representative of a given population as a whole.

Random sampling ( and sampling error ) can only be used to gather information about a single defined point in time.

** Anomalous dynamics ( Random walk # Anomalous diffusion ), the stochastic motion of objects with mean squared displacement ( MSD ) that deviates from the relation for normal dynamics, MSD ~ t, where t is the time the process is seen ; anomalous dynamics are either faster than normal dynamics ( MSD > t ) or slower ( MSD < t )

In 1984 Inge Telnaes received a patent for a device titled, " Electronic Gaming Device Utilizing a Random Number Generator for Selecting the Reel Stop Positions " ( US Patent 4448419 ), which states: “ It is important to make a machine that is perceived to present greater chances of payoff than it actually has within the legal limitations that games of chance must operate .” The patent was later bought by International Game Technology and has since expired.

It is important that the machine contains a high-quality RNG implementation, because all PRNGs must eventually repeat their number sequence ( see Art of Computer Programming Volume 2 Chapter 3, Random numbers ), and if the period is short, or the PRNG is otherwise flawed, an advanced player may be able to ' predict ' the next result.
