I am sorry, but I think I did not make myself clear: testing random numbers 
post-processing with the statistical tools does NOT give any idea about the 
entropy rate. Thus, all that was calculated is the proper implementation of 
the post-processing operation and not the actual noise source.

What needs to happen is that we need access to raw, unconditioned data from 
the noise source that is analyzed with the statistical methods.

Ciao
