Initialising Mersenne-Twister with one integer
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 U...
