Popis: We use the framework of dependence to assess the benefits of scrambling randomly versus deterministically for Faure and Halton sequences. We attempt to answer the following questions: when a deterministic sequence has known defects for small sample sizes, should we address these defects by applying random scrambling or should we find a "good" deterministic scrambling yielding a sequence that can then be randomized using a less computer-intensive randomization method such as a digital shift? And in the latter case, how do we choose a deterministic scrambling and how do we assess whether it is good or not?
