Subject: [R] How to stop set.seed() besides exiting out of R?

Hi list,

I am curious how to stop the set.seed(), I don't want the same repeated
random number.  I know I can set it to a different seed, but I don't
want
to go through the trouble of setting different seed every time.

Thanks,
Mike

Can you show us how you are using set.seed() that results in getting the same sequence repeatedly?  If you are doing simulations in a loop, then set the seed once, outside the loop.  Otherwise, I am not sure what you are doing that causes problems.  A reproducible example would really help.
