Talk:Hopkins statistic

"random" versus "uniformly distributed"

The introduction states:

A value close to 1 tends to indicate the data is highly clustered, random data will tend to result in values around 0.5, and uniformly distributed data will tend to result in values close to 0.

First of all, this is confusing, because it's not clear what "random data" means in the middle clause. Second of all, I looked at the reference, and it looks like uniformly distributed data results in a value of 0.5, and values below 0.5 are not typically expected.
