Hi,
I failed to search for R package providing random number generator of Park
and Miller.
Anyone know any R package supporting this kind of function?
rng.lcg-function(x,p1=16807,p2=0,N=2147483647){(x*p1+p2)%%N}

Re: [R] Random Number Generator of Park and Miller
By the way, AFAIK, R uses the Mersenne-Twister random number generator, which has a much better reputation for producing numbers than any linear congruential PRNG (the same url, http://www.firstpr.com.au/dsp/rand31/) gracezhang wrote: I failed to search for R package providing random number generator of Park and Miller.
