set_seed
In this case, how do I choose numbers to make sure set_seed(n1,n2) and set.seed(n) produce the same result ? I am asking because my C code worked correctly if I compile it to produce .exe file and ran it , but it gave strange results if it is compiled to .dll file and dynamically loaded into R and call with .C( ). To debug, I need to let them produce the same random number under two different situation so I can tell what is wrong in R. Thanks a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: Prof Brian Ripley <ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk> Date: Monday, May 14, 2007 9:40 pm Subject: Re: [Rd] set_seed To: Tong Wang <wangtong at usc.edu> Cc: R-devel <r-devel at r-project.org>

Hi, All:
It seemed set_seed is usable only when Rmath is used as a
standalone
library, then what should I use when I need to link to R.dll.
When you link to R.dll you are running R, so you can call set.seed() via eval or via do_setseed. -- Brian D.
