Thanks a lot for all the replies! We managed now to solve our problem by replacing the rand / srand functions by R's random number generator and now the results on windows and linux agree. Thanks again! Klaus Paul Gilbert wrote: I cannot say what the problem is in your code, but in general it

I cannot say what the problem is in your code, but in general it is possible to get the same random sequences from Linux and Windows with R's Mersenne Twister generator. If you generate long sequences (say 10s of thousands) and then start doing comparisons involving remainders, like differenci

Hi Klaus, Why not just use R's random number generator? See section 6.3 of Writing R Extensions. It should give you the same sequence of pseudorandom numbers on all platforms. HTH, Kjell On 12 mai 09, at 12:30, Klaus Nordhausen wrote: Dear R experts, we are preparing an R-package to com
