public class Ranecu
extends RandomSeedable
implements java.io.Serializable

Ranecu is an advanced multiplicative linear congruential random number generator with a period of aproximately 10¹⁸. Ranecu is a direct translation from Fortran of the RANECU subroutine published in the paper
F. James, Comp. Phys. Comm. 60 (1990) p 329-344
The algorithm was originally described in
P. L'Ecuyer, Commun. ACM. 1988 (1988) p 742

Source code is available.

Constructor Detail

Ranecu

public Ranecu()

Initialize RANECU with the default seeds from James.

Ranecu

public Ranecu(int s1,
              int s2)

Initialize RANECU with two specified integer seeds. Use this to introduce repeatable seeds. Equivalent to Ranecu(s1*(long) Integer.MAX_VALUE)+s2)

Parameters:

s1 - seed integer 1 (MSW)

s2 - seed integer 2 (LSW)

Ranecu

public Ranecu(long l)

Ranecu

public Ranecu(java.util.Date d)

Method Detail

raw

public final double raw()

Description copied from class: RandomElement

The abstract method that must be defined to make a working RandomElement. See the class RandomJava for an example of how to do this.

Specified by:

raw in class RandomElement

Returns:

a random double in the range [0,1]

See Also:

RandomElement.raw()

raw

public final void raw(double[] d,
                      int n)

This is an inline version that returns an array of doubles for speed.

Overrides:

raw in class RandomElement

Parameters:

d - array to be filled with doubles

n - number of doubles to generate

getSeed

public long getSeed()

Returns:

the current generator state as a long. Can be used to restart the generator where one left off.
