nag_random_init_repeatable (g05cbc) sets the seed used by the basic generator in Chapter g05 to a repeatable initial value.

nag_random_init_repeatable (g05cbc) sets the internal seed used by the basic generator g05cac (nag_random_continuous_uniform) to a value  calculated from the argument seed:

It then generates the value  and discards it, i.e., the first available value is .

This function will yield different subsequent sequences of random numbers if called with different values of seed, but the sequences will be repeatable in different runs of the calling program. It should be noted that there is no guarantee of statistical properties between sequences, only within sequences.

Not applicable.

None.
