getRNG1 is an S4 generic that returns the initial RNG settings
used for computing an object.
For example, in the case of results from multiple model fits, it would
return the RNG settings used to compute the first fit.
getRNG1(object, ...)# S4 method for ANY
getRNG1(object, ...)
an R object.
extra arguments to allow extension.
ANY: Default method that is identical to getRNG(object, ...).
getRNG1 is defined to provide separate access to the RNG settings as
they were at the very beginning of a whole computation, which might differ
from the RNG settings returned by getRNG, that allows to reproduce the
result only.
Think of a sequence of separate computations, from which only one result is
used for the result (e.g. the one that maximizes a likelihood):
getRNG1 would return the RNG settings to reproduce the complete sequence
of computations, while getRNG would return the RNG settings necessary to
reproduce only the computation whose result has maximum likelihood.
