The null hypothesis for a one-sample runs test is that the observations in the sample are randomly generated. This means that there is no systematic pattern or trend in the data, and the observed sequence of values could have occurred by chance. The runs test is used to test whether the null hypothesis can be rejected in favor of an alternative hypothesis that suggests there is a non-random pattern in the data.
