setRNG (version 2011.11-2)

getRNG: get the RND and seed from an object

Description

Get the random number generator and seed used to generate an object.

Usage

getRNG(e=NULL)
    ## S3 method for class 'default':
getRNG(e=NULL)

Arguments

e

an object generated by simulation (which stored the RNG information).

Value

• The random seed and other random number generation information used to generate the object.

Details

Extract the RNG information used to generate the object. If e is NULL then getRNG returns the RNG setting, as returned by setRNG(). Otherwise, the default method assumes the object is a list and the RNG information is in the element rng or noise$rng.
