Manual for psimpoll and pscomb

Menu

Menu N: confidence intervals

Menu N4: random number seed
This option changes the initial seed for random number generation. By default, the seed is taken from the system date and time, and is the number of seconds since the beginning of 1970. The value used for each run is included in the output (menu Eb) so a run can then be repeated exactly by giving here the seed used previously with the same generator and same number of simulations. Enter either `TIMER' (to use the default) or any positive number not greater than 2147483647.

Return to menu N.
