Build the combined linear congruential generator (L'Ecuyer 1988) used by both the R and
Python implementations, so that a given specification and seed produce identical data in
either language. The draw-order contract is documented in the specification at
https://github.com/pablobernabeu/pilotr/blob/main/spec/SPEC.md.
Arguments
- seed
A single number used to seed the generator (coerced to a non-negative integer).
Value
A list of three functions: uniform() returns one standard-uniform draw,
normal() returns one standard-normal draw, and normals(k) returns a length-k
numeric vector of standard-normal draws.
Examples
rng <- make_rng(1)
rng$uniform()
#> [1] 0.7498299
rng$normals(3)
#> [1] -0.5715727 1.1424531 -0.8722080
