setNormal: setNormal

In wbuchanan/reaRandom: Access truly random numbers

Description

Method used to create REARandom object that will be passed in API call to Random.org's generateGaussians method.

Usage

  ## S4 method for signature 'REARandom,numeric,numeric,numeric,numeric,numeric'
setNormal(REARandomObject,
  id = 42, n = 1, mean = 0, standardDeviation = 1,
  significantDigits = 2)

Arguments

REARandomObject	an Object of class REARandom to prepare for generateGaussians API call
id	An ID number used to match response to request. Defaults to 42.
n	The number of random values to return. Must be in [1, 1e4]; defaults to 1.
mean	Value of the mean for the distribution from which to draw random numbers. Must be in [-1e6, 1e6]; defaults to 0.
standardDeviation	Value for the standard deviation of the distribution. Must be in [-1e6, 1e6]; defaults to 1.
significantDigits	The number of digits beyond the decimal to retain. Must be in [2, 20]; defaults to 2.
