TRandom2 Class Reference

Random number generator class based on the maximally quidistributed combined Tausworthe generator by L'Ecuyer.

The period of the generator is 2**88 (about 10**26) and it uses only 3 words for the state.

For more information see: P. L'Ecuyer, Mathematics of Computation, 65, 213 (1996) P. L'Ecuyer, Mathematics of Computation, 68, 225 (1999)

Member Function Documentation

◆ Rndm() [1/3]

Double_t TRandom2::Rndm ( )
virtual

TausWorth generator from L'Ecuyer, uses as seed 3x32bits integers Use a mask of 0xffffffffUL to make in work on 64 bit machines Periodicity of about 10**26 Generate number in interval (0,1) : 0 and 1 are not included in the interval.

Reimplemented from TRandom.

Definition at line 56 of file TRandom2.cxx.

◆ Rndm() [2/3]

Double_t TRandom::Rndm ( )
virtual

Machine independent random number generator.

Based on the BSD Unix (Rand) Linear congrential generator. Produces uniformly-distributed floating points between 0 and 1. Identical sequence on all machines of >= 32 bits. Periodicity = 2**31, generates a number in (0,1). Note that this is a generator which is known to have defects (the lower random bits are correlated) and therefore should NOT be used in any statistical study).

Reimplemented from TRandom.

◆ RndmArray() [1/2]

void TRandom2::RndmArray ( Int_t  n,
Double_t array 
)
virtual

Return an array of n random numbers uniformly distributed in ]0,1].

Reimplemented from TRandom.

Definition at line 95 of file TRandom2.cxx.

◆ RndmArray() [2/2]

void TRandom2::RndmArray ( Int_t  n,
Float_t array 
)
virtual

Return an array of n random numbers uniformly distributed in ]0,1].

Reimplemented from TRandom.

Definition at line 75 of file TRandom2.cxx.

◆ SetSeed()

void TRandom2::SetSeed ( ULong_t  seed = 0)
virtual

Set the generator seed.

If the seed given is zero, generate automatically seed values which are different every time by using TRandom3 and TUUID If a seed is given generate the other two needed for the generator state using a linear congruential generator The only condition, stated at the end of the 1999 L'Ecuyer paper is that the seeds must be greater than 1,7 and 15. Note that after seeting the seed the generator is warmed up by calling it internally few times therefore the returned seed in TRandom2::GetSeed will be a different value. For this generator the user will have to store the provided seed externally if he wants to reproduce the random sequence
