set.RNG: Set the random number generator
Description
Set the random number generator.Usage
set.RNG(kind=NULL, seed=NULL, normal.kind=NULL)
Details
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 set.RNG. (This would reset to the
original value.) If no arguments are given the current setting is
returned. In R see RNGkind for more details.
Sets global variables controlling the uniform and normal random
number generators and the global seed.
