set.initialization: Set initialization algorithm

In rngwell19937: Random number generator WELL19937a with 53 or 32 bit output

Description

The function allows to specify the initialization algorithm used by the function set.seed().

Usage

  set.initialization(initialization)

Arguments

initialization

Character, either "mrg32k5a" or "sfmt". The required initialization algorithm.

Details
