Simulate random normal variable from threefry/vandercorput generator

Simulate random normal variable from threefry/vandercorput generator

Usage

rxnorm(mean = 0, sd = 1, n = 1L, ncores = 1L)

Arguments

mean

vector of means.

sd

vector of standard deviations.

n

number of observations

ncores

Number of cores for the simulation

rxnorm simulates using the threefry sitmo generator;

Value

normal random number deviates

Examples

## Use threefry engine

rxnorm(n = 10) # with rxnorm you have to explicitly state n
#>  [1]  1.31125946  0.34298624 -1.15771645  0.02768516 -0.42533977  0.51421614
#>  [7]  1.72913886  0.34092896 -0.62575290 -1.24691670
rxnorm(n = 10, ncores = 2) # You can parallelize the simulation using openMP
#>  [1]  0.1901691 -0.8495735  0.4039625  0.9334171 -0.2836994  0.6076422
#>  [7]  0.3759326 -0.9604859 -1.7918986  0.6725448

rxnorm(2, 3) ## The first 2 arguments are the mean and standard deviation
#> [1] 0.8224287
