Greetings. I understand that to generate distinct sequences of random numbers in R one can initialize the calculation of each sequence by calling the set.seed() function with a distinct value for "seed" the (integer) first argument to the function.
I'd like to know if there are any guidelines or best practices for choosing "seed". I.e., is it OK just to choose seed as any consecutive integers (1, 2, 3, ...), or should the integers be, say, relatively prime (7, 9, 13, ...), or disjoint sequences of digits from pi (14159, 26535, 89793, ...) or ...? Thanks. -- Mike ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
