Very nice--thanks. I had never heard of this issue, but it makes sense. > Also, the built in java random number generator is ok, but not > state-of-the-art in terms of quality.

An additional advantage of sampling libraries like data.generators and bigml/sampling that allow one to specify the RNG is the ability to use a different RNG algorithm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
