Abstract In this paper we study the distribution properties of d-FCSR sequences. These sequences have efficient generators and have several good statistical properties. We show that for d=2 the number of occurrences of an fixed size subsequence differs from the average number of occurrences by at most a small constant times the square root of the average.
