Hello, In ?set.seed I notice that a seed is created from the system time. Thus if two machines were (hypothetically) running for the same time and R was started simultaneously on both, the would have the same seeds (correct?). I assume reading from /dev/random would be different for both of these machines, so my question is why not use an integer read from /dev/random to create the seed? Would

Dear useRs, A few days ago, the initial version 0.1.0 of a new package 'random' was uploaded to CRAN. The random packages provides convenient access to the non-deterministic random numbers provided by the random.org site created by Mads Haahr (http://www.random.org). While certain hardware and software solutions that provide access to non-deterministic random-numbers exist, few if any are portable across all the hardware platforms R supports. Retrieving non-deterministic random numbers may be beneficial to seed parallel simulations w...

Hi all, Is there an R function to generate random integers? Thanks in advance. Sincerely Anup --------------------------------- Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
