Abstract
NIST SP 800-90B is developed to evaluate the security of entropy sources. As SP 800-90B was updated to Second Draft, Estimators with predictors were added at Non-IID track. Though the predictors are known as detecting periodic property of noise sources, periodic properties which are detected by predictor are not clearly known. In this paper, we experiment to find properties of predictors. Once, by experiments we have a result that the min-entropy of Non-IID noise sources is generally determined by tests except for estimators with predictors. And then through presenting various experimental results for clarifying periodic properties detected by predictor, we experimentally analyze on its meaning and role of predictor estimation.
