R: Set the Armadillo Random Number Generator to the given value
armadillo_set_seed
R Documentation
Set the Armadillo Random Number Generator to the given value
Description
Set the Armadillo Random Number Generator to the given
value
Usage
armadillo_set_seed(val)
Arguments
val
The seed used to initialize Armadillo's random
number generator.
Details
Depending on whether RcppArmadillo was compiled for the
C++98 standard (currently the default) or for C++11
(optional), two different RNGs may be used. This function
resets either. For C++98, the system library RNG is used.
It may have poor performance, particularly on older
versions of Windows. For C++11, the RNG included in its
library is used.
Value
The function is invoked for its side effect and has no
return value.
Note
This has been found to not work as espected in
RStudio as its code also uses the system RNG library.
You may have to either not run within RStudio or
change your code to use a different RNG such as the one
from R.
