GRB: energetic transient phenomena(duration < 1000 s, Eiso < 1054erg)strong evidences for cosmological origin (zmax = 8.1)physically not homogeneous population:
short: T90 < 2 s, long: T90 > 2s

Mathematical considerationsmore sophisticated methods(Vavrek, R.; Balázs, L. G.; Mészáros, A.; Horváth, I.; Bagoly, Z., 2008,MNRAS, 391, 1741)
Conclusion from the simple tests: short and long GRBs behave in different ways!
Definition of complete randomness: Angular distribution independent on position
i.e. P(Ω) depends only on the size of Ω and NOT on the position
Distribution in different directions independenti.e. probability of finding a GRB in Ω1
independent on finding one in Ω2

Multifractal spectrum
P(ε) probability for a point in ε area.
If P(ε) ~ εα then α is the local fractal spectrum (α=2 for a completely random process on the plane)

Summary and conclusions
We find difference between short and long GRBs
We defined five groups (short1, short2, inter-mediate, long1, long2)
We introduced 13 test-variables (Voronoi cells, Minimal Spanning Tree, Multifractal Spectrum)
We made 200 simulation for each samples
Differences between samples in the number of test variables giving positive signal
We computed Euclidean distances from the simulated sample mean
Short1, short2, intermediate are not fully random
