----------------------------------

             Summary: Negative integer seed for MersenneTwister is not working.
                 Key: MATH-1322
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1322
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.6
            Reporter: Morikawa Joe


MersenneTwister.setSeed(int seed) has a bug.

If seed is negative, longMT also becomes negative.
First 32 bits are filled by 0xFFFFFFFF.
But it should be positive. First 32 bits should be filled by 0x00000000.

Ex) Integer -1 is 0xffffffff. 
Long -1 is 0xffffffffffffffff.
Long 0xffffffff is 4294967295.

I created simple patch.
