jsim.variate
Class LCGRandom

java.lang.Object
  jsim.variate.LCGRandom

public class LCGRandom
extends java.lang.Object

Basic random number generator. It is a multiplicative Linear Congruential Generator (LCG). The generator can be adjusted simply by changing the constants MULTIPIER and MODULUS (be careful). The complete generated stream of MODULUS numbers is split into MAX_STREAMS (stream from 0 to MAX_STREAMS - 1) by appropriate setting of the SEED array (again be careful).

Field Summary
