Ranmar Type

Namespace: Altaxo.Calc.Probability.Old
Assembly: AltaxoCore.Redist.dll
Base Type: obj

Universal random number generator proposed by Marsaglia, Zaman, and Tsang. It has a period of 2^144 = 2*10^43, and is completely portable. Only 24 bits are garantueed to be completely random. 

             Upto now this generator passes all statistical tests on randomness.
             Ranmar generates a sequence of random numbers uniformly distributed in the
             interval (0,1), the end points excluded.
             The seed value must be in the range 0 <= ijkl <= 900 000 000.
