We significantly exceeds his prabability of success, .25, by scoring over .29. The question that. this report addresses is: Is there a statistical. or logical reason why he did so we71? The methodology used to attack this problem and the resulting conclusions are summarized below. This summary can also .serve as an outline to this detailed report. I. .Statistical-Analysis of the Machine Experimental Data Pre-experiment data analysis discovered a non-random characteristic through the examination of forward-backward state transitions (i.e., Red-Blue,-Blue-Red). Wowever, the coefficient of correlation between the forward and backward states of .58 for the experimental data, .49 for Machine 1 data and .48 for Machine 2 data were considered law enough that this approach was dropped. Pre-experiment state transitions had a coefficient of correlation of .93. The experimental data randomness analysis consisted of examining the distribution of color totals and the distribution of .each color taken over various combinations and permutations of the data. No evidence of non-randomness was discovered. II. Rnaiysis of the Subjects' Data Responses The subject's responses were analyzed with the emphasis on the discovery of his strategy or the unveiling of a trend which would give him a statistical advantage. .The possibilities investigated produces. no solid reason how he was able to be so successful. Wowever, in one case there is a strong indication w~ he was able to succeed, It appears that he vas learning the states of Machine ?_. The details of this are in Approved For Release 2003/04/18.: CIA-RDP96-007878000200150011-4 Approved For Release 2003/04/18.: CIA-RDP96-007878000200150011-4 the remainder of the report. Miscellaneous Thereport contains a section entitled "Miscellaneous" far the purpose of displaying detailed data which wasn't directly required by the above more general analysis. Details such as how many successful choices in the color red during the 50th trial were there, or what was the relationship of the number of passes to the number of successes. The terminology used is as follows: the term "trial" refers. to the string of machine states and corresponding choices from the time the subject begins until he makes 25.non-passing choices. A sample.is a machine -state and/or subject choice (including passes). There are (25 + # passes/trial) samples-in each trial.

Forward-backward State Transition Analysis In a previous memorandum (Me~r~o ORD 2240-75, i2 June 1975 to SG11 the question of randomisers with the. emphasis on state transitions as an indication of non-randomness-was addressed. The data used in the investigation consisted of pre-experiment trials, The purpose of this section is to do a similar. investigation using the actual data which occurred during S2's experiment. -Table 1 presents all possible transition frequencies. All transitions should have equal probability. YELLOW` GREEN BLUE RED YELLOW 204 199 199 216 GREEN 192 218 222 207 BLUE 211 206 228 222 RED 209 206 223 221 Restructuring into a two-by-six table as in Ref 1 produces: Y/G Y/B Y/R G/B G/R B/R FORWARD 199 199 -216 222 207 222 BACKWARD 192 211 209...- 206 206 223 The conclusion based on pre-experimental data was. that these state-pairs. show a very strong relationship between forward-.and backward transition frequencies-{coefficient of correlation =.93). However, computing the. coefficient of correlation, ps2 actual data = .58, it becomes apparent that the degree of dependence is slightly reduced. Therefore the dependence of forward to backward states can no longer be considered as a strong indicator of non-randomness. , Approved For Release 2003/04/1,8: CIA-RDP96-007878000200150011-4 Approved For Release 2003/04/18: CIA-RDP96-007878000200150011-4 The data used in the above discussion consisted of trials from both machine 1 and. machine 2. Since non-randomness, made apparent by the state transitions, clearly existed forpre-experimental data, the investigation of the experimental data continued to include a search for this trend in the individual machines.. The transi ions (including identity) are as follows: Machine 1 YELLOW YELLOW 96 GREEN 79 BLUE 88 RED 92 GREEN $5 87 86 88 BLUE 85 82 90 87 RED 91 91 83 92 Machine 2 YELLOW YELLOW 108 GREEN 120.

However, wha~has result d is ha .various forms of the data have bee_n__examined with all ind_ica_ting that the data is random. Tables,. plots and commentary are presented in this section to demonstrate randomness. and in some cases just to provide general information concerning the machines data. .The distribution of the colors collectively and for each machine is as follows: Machine 1 Yellow 365 Green 353 Blue 356 Red 372 Tatal 1446 Mean 361.5 Machine 2 475 505 538 519 2037 509.25 TOTAL 84.0 858 891 891- 3483 870.75 Machine l was not-used in as many trials as machine 2 (44 trials to 56 for. machine 2), thus the difference in totals. The standard deviation of binomial distribution with n=3483 and p=1/4 is 25.56-which would imply that each separate number is reasonably close to the mean. Accepting the distribution of the totals consider. the distribution of-the colors throughout the experiment. The popluations used for this .investigation consisted of the first 25 samples of each trial (100 trials total). This population is acceptable since the distribution of its totals was reasonable and since .the performance of S2 was approximately-the same.

Each _tri_al._~abbreviated to 25 samples) as analyzed__separate interval. Obviously this .will indicate .any bias. within each trial;,.. .The data (2500 samples) is divided into intervals of five samples each. This will indicate unusual. repetitions either: within tie interval or interval-by-.interval.. 3. The data. is reformatted into 25 intervals of 100 samples,-.where the- nth interval consists of the nth sample in each trial. The results of approach l is shown. in Figures l.l.a, l.l.b, l.l.c, and. 1.l .d.~ The binomial distribution for this strategy (n=25 p=1/4) is mean. 6.25 and the variance 4.69. The plots indicate randomness thro~ac~hout the 700 trials, The results of approach 2 are similar to approach 1 and are shown in the four tables in Figure 1.2. The plots indicated randomness but are-not shown because of monotomy. The binomia l distribution mean is-1.25 and the variance .94. The binomial distribution mean and variance for approach 3 is 25 and 18.75 respectively (Figure 1.3). A plot of the data (Figure 1.4) for the "RED" case because of the concern for the higher variance and ranges. The 13th sample seems to have an unusually high frequency of "RED" (44~). However in .general this investigation has not produced a significant non-random characteristic.

No good strategy is available based on .the randomness of the data. The best possible strategy based- on the above transition matrices is: 1. If the subject can't distinguish between machine then .press blue - when blue appears, else pass. 2. If the subject-can distinguish them on Machine 1', press yellow when. yellow occurs, and on Machine 2 press blue when red occurs. For all its worth, of the existing data the following success would result - 26%, 26%, and 27%.

The investigation was unable to give'a definitive reason for his success: Although no strategies were uncovered there was in-one case a indication that the subject was learning. Two major approaches have been taken in this investigation. .They are. as follows; 1. Strategy of S2 - Was there any trends in the way he guessed? he respond based on the previous state of the machine? 2. Hit analysis - Did the subjects' hits (correct choices) increase within a~run; did it increase from run to run (i.e., was he learning?) Strategy of S2 For general- information and future reference the first fig;~re (Figure 2.1) presented i s the actual .choices,, One i tem_ of .curiosity from_ t_hi s i s that wren h~passes, he tends to do_1_t in__s~i^.n,gs. This characteristic. of course wasn't pursued because of its insignificance to .this report; however, observations like that are pointed out throughout the report as possible importance to those in the field.

Examine the following table:. Total Number of Hits Yellow 255 Green 127 Blue ~~ Red 292 % of Total Hits 35% 17% 8% 40% % of Success in Color 29% 31% 25% 30% (Hits - Correct Choices) As can be seen his results with blue are significantly lower than the others. However, assuming the probability of success to be .25 and using- the binomial distribution the expected value =69 and the standard deviation = 7. The inference from this as .that the 60 81ue hits are not a statistical abnormality. However, it is curious that he dial so much worse on his lowest preference. State Transition Color Choice This:investigation consists of examining the states of the machine verses. the choice on-the next sample of the subject (i.e., if the machine shows "red" does the subject consistently choose one color on the next turn).

Tables of state transitions which reflect the influence of the subject on the machine: For color choices of the subject the table shows the number of colors the machine has on the next sample. For example on the first table, when the subject picked yellow, on the next sample 197 times-the machine state was yellow.

Because of the possibility that the subject was learning the state of machine 2 the distribution of the colors are plotted in Figures 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, and 4.1. The only states used are those in which the subject didn't pass. Therefore there is a total of 25 for each trial.
