Diehard tests: History, Ranks of matrices & Birthday spacings

The diehard tests are a battery of statistical tests for measuring the quality of a random number generator (RNG). They were developed by George Marsaglia over several years and first published in 1995 on a CD-ROM of random numbers. In 2006, the original diehard tests were extended into the dieharder tests.
