setRNG {setRNG} | R Documentation |
Set the random number generator.
setRNG(kind=NULL, seed=NULL, normal.kind=NULL) random.number.test()
None required
kind |
a character string. |
seed |
a vector of numbers (depending on kind). |
normal.kind |
a character string. |
Sets the uniform and normal random number generators and the seed.
The function random.number.test()
can be used to check that the
function is working properly. The old setting is returned in a format
which can be used in another call to setRNG. (This would reset to the
original value.) If no arguments are given the current setting is
returned. In R see RNGkind for more details.
The old setting.
setRNG(kind="Wichmann-Hill", seed=c(979,1479,1542), normal.kind="Box-Muller") rnorm(10)
