For 64 bit integers you can use the 'maximum haming distance' as a measure of randomness. This is the maximum number of bits any two number in the set have in common e.g. 10101010 and 00001111 have 4 bits in common. The higher the maximum haming distance the less random (for the purposes of hashing etc). Regards, Steve
