Subject: [Rcpp-devel] Setting the R random seed from Rcpp
In-Reply-To: <CAC_0WE-jR+DGPRTzOGyWvF=1NnX9giGxcvSVWRv3LVj2E9sW6w@mail.gmail.com>
Hi Matteo,
I do not know what you really want to do, but if you want to replicate results, you could do the following in Rcpp before running the RNG:
Rcpp::Environment baseEnv("package:base");
Rcpp::Function setSeed = baseEnv["set.seed"];
setSeed(0); //any other number would do it here
Best
Simon
