Hi, It seems to me that the Mersenne-Twister PRNG can be initialised using one integer instead of 624 integers, since inside RNG.c code there's a function defined as MT_sgenrand(Int32).
How do I actually set this seed within R? I've tried: > .Random.seed <- c(3, 1) > runif(1) Error in runif(1) : .Random.seed has wrong length In addition, is '3' actually the correct rng.kind for the Mersenne-Twister? I'm using R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20 on Ubuntu Dapper Linux 686.
