init: Initialization and Cleaning

In rlecuyer: R Interface to RNG with Multiple Streams

Initialization and Cleaning

Description

Initialize and remove the RNG

Usage

.lec.init()
.lec.exit()

Details

The package uses a global table object .lec.Random.seed.table to keep information about the current state of the streams. Functions .lec.init creates this global object and function .lec.exit deletes it. However, in most cases these two functions will not be needed, as the table is automatically created when the package is loaded and it is deleted when the package is unloaded. If there is however a need to explicitely delete the table of streams and create a new empty one, these two functions can be used for that purpose.

.lec.init initializes the workspace: removes old and creates new global object
.lec.Random.seed.table. It also allocates memory for the current stream used by
.lec.CurrentStream.

.lec.exit removes the global object .lec.Random.seed.table and frees memory used for the current stream.
