Imperfectly shuffled decks in bridge
In this paper, we study the distribution tables of imperfectly shuffled hands in a bridge game under a conditional Markov chain model, based on which a simple approximate test on the randomness of the decks is derived. The idea is to examine whether a stochastic process is a compound hypergeometric process, through the number of its ties, and it is easily adapted to similar situations.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the distribution tables of imperfectly shuffled hands in a bridge game under a conditional Markov chain model, based on which a simple approximate test on the randomness of the decks is derived. The idea is to examine whether a stochastic process is a compound hypergeometric process, through the number of its ties, and it is easily adapted to similar situations.
