General remarks on toolbox for pseudo and quasi random number generation

Description

The randtoolbox-package started in 2007 during a student working group at ISFA (France). From then, it grew quickly thanks to the contribution of Diethelm Wuertz and Petr Savicky. It was presented at a Rmetrics workshop in 2009 in Meielisalp, Switzerland.

This package provides state-of-the-art pseudo RNGs for simulations as well as the usual quasi RNGs. See pseudoRNG and quasiRNG, respectively. There are also some RNG tests.

We recommend first users to take a look at the vignette 'Quick introduction of randtoolbox', whereas advanced users whould have a look at the vigentte 'A note on random number generation'.

The stable version is available on CRAN https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=randtoolbox, while the development version is hosted on R-forge in the rmetrics project at https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rmetrics/.
