Is there a way to generate identical random samples using R's runif function and SAS's ranuni function? I have assigned the same seed values in both software packages, but the following results show different results. Thanks!
R === > set.seed(6) > random <- runif(10) > random [1] 0.6062683 0.9376420 0.2643521 0.3800939 0.8074834 0.9780757 0.9579337 [8] 0.7627319 0.5096485 0.0644768 SAS (the log file) ======= 15 data _null_; 16 do i=1 to 10; 17 random = ranuni(6); 18 put i= random=; 19 end; 20 run; i=1 random=0.1097754189 i=2 random=0.8205322939 i=3 random=0.3989458365 i=4 random=0.5563918723 i=5 random=0.5296154672 i=6 random=0.8156640985 i=7 random=0.2578750389 i=8 random=0.1901503369 i=9 random=0.2987641572 i=10 random=0.3993993096 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
