r-cran-dqrng - 0.2.1+dfsg-4+b1 main

Several fast random number generators are provided as C++
header only libraries: The PCG family by O'Neill (2014
) as well as
Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+ by Blackman and Vigna (2018
). In addition fast functions for generating random
numbers according to a uniform, normal and exponential distribution
are included. The latter two use the Ziggurat algorithm originally
proposed by Marsaglia and Tsang (2000, ).
These functions are exported to R and as a C++ interface and are
enabled for use with the default 64 bit generator from the PCG family,
Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+ as well as the 64 bit version of the 20 rounds
Threefry engine (Salmon et al., 2011 ) as
provided by the package 'sitmo'.
