I am baffled why you have gone so far down this road, Ted. Considerable effort has gone into making prediction of value N of the RNG sequence unrelated to value N-1 of the sequence as long as you don't know the internal state of the RNG. This is true for both the R internal RNG and the platform-

Hello, I'm not sure I understand the question. When you use set.seed, it will have effect in all calls to the random number generator following it. So the value for y is also fixed. As for your code, you don't need the second set.seed. And though it is not syntatically incorrect, the way you a

how do i use set.seed? for example i want to generate fix x with different value of y each time i.e genarate x<-rnorm(10) generate y<-rnorm(10) i want have x fix but y changes at each iteration. this what i try but is not working { set.seed(100)   x<-10*runif(10) } x set.seed(y<-rnorm(10)) y
