Hi All. I have R code whose functionality is being replicated within a C+ program. The outputs are to be compared to validate the conversion somewhat - however (as is always the case) I have stuffed my code with random number calls.
Random uniform numbers in C+ are being produced using the (Boost) mersenne-twister generators (mt11213b & mt19937) - which is the default type of generator in R (if I read things correctly). If it was all within R I would just set the seed for reproducibility. Basically - how do I specify in C+ for a set of random uniform numbers such that they are the same as from R? I have considered the possibility of storing/using the R generated random numbers in the C+ version for validation purposes - but there are a lot of them, and that strikes me as a generally ugly way of doing things. thanks in advance C -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carl Donovan Lecturer in statistics Ph +44 1334 461802 The Observatory Buchanan Gardens University of St Andrews St Andrews Fife KY16 9LZ Scotland ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
