SummaryAsymptotic properties of the partitions of the unit interval induced by some special random sequences of points are studied from two points of view. The partition-entropy and largest spacings for independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) uniform sequences in [0,1] are first compared with the corresponding quantities for a random sequence generated by a scheme of S. Kakutani. A general combinatorial technique exploiting the tree structure of interval splittings is then introduced to prove almost-sure (a.s.) equidistribution of the points of Kakutani's construction, along with a rate of convergence of empirical measures to Lebesgue measure and such other results as a.s. equidistribution of k-tuples in [0,1]k
