Hi

Did you try different order?

Step 2: set.seed (123)

Step 1. Self-coded functions (these functions generate random numbers as well)

Step 3: Call those functions.

Step 4: model results.

Cheers
Petr.

And BTW, do not use HTML formating, it could cause problems in text only list.

Dear Petr,

It is more than 2000 lines of code with a lot of functions and data inputs. I 
am not sure whether it would be useful to upload it. However, you are 
absolutely right. I used

Step 1. Self-coded functions (these functions generate random numbers as well)

Step 2: set.seed (123)

Step 3: Call those functions.

Step 4: model results.

I close the R session and run the code from step 1. I get different results 
for the same set of values for parameters.

Best regards,
Shah

Hi

Please provide at least your code preferably with some data to reproduce
this behaviour. I wonder if anybody could help you without such information.

My wild guess is that you used

set.seed(1234)

some code

the code used again

in which case you have to expect different results.

Cheers
Petr
