mtwistThe mtwist library interfaces to a random number generator
based on the Mersenne Twistor algorithm. The algorithm has good
properties but is not meant to be cryptographically secure. The
library functions are of the form
library('mtwist',f)
where f is one of the followng character strings.
bern u_cont u_disc u_path u_enum w_disc w_enum
Formally they are not mathematical functions because their results
depend on a pseudo-random number that is not uniquely determined by
their arguments. The numbers are generated deterministically in a
sequence starting from a seed derived from the system clock at the
time avram is launched, and each call uses the next number
in the sequence. In so doing, it simulates a random draw from a
uniformly distributed population.
