Abstract: nruns and nrunsi count runs in a sequence of values showing the successive occurrence of categories, nruns for a given varname and nrunsi for values specified in the command line. Each command shuffles the sequence randomly a given number of times and displays the simulated frequency and probability distributions under randomness of the number of runs possible with the same values and the probabilities of less than, the same number as, or more than that observed.
