Hi,
Thanks for this. To be clear, I did not intend to use scientific notation, I
just happened to stumble upon this when using prettyNum on numbers large enough
that R switched to scientific notation and I noticed the problem. I just made
this artificial example just to show with an example usin
Dear List,
section "6.3 Random number generation" of WRE [1] lists unif_rand(),
norm_rand() and exp_rand() as the interface to R's RNG. Now
R_ext/Random.h also has
double R_unif_index(double);
Can this be also treated as an official API function that may be called
