Package: dqrng Type: Package Title: Fast Pseudo Random Number Generators Version: 0.3.0 Authors@R: c( person("Ralf", "Stubner", email = "ralf.stubner@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre")), person("daqana GmbH", role = "cph"), person("David Blackman", role = "ctb"), person("Melissa O'Neill", email = "oneill@pcg-random.org", role = "ctb"), person("Sebastiano Vigna", email = "vigna@acm.org", role = "ctb"), person("Aaron", "Lun", role="ctb") ) Description: Several fast random number generators are provided as C++ header only libraries: The PCG family by O'Neill (2014 ) as well as Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+ by Blackman and Vigna (2018 ). In addition fast functions for generating random numbers according to a uniform, normal and exponential distribution are included. The latter two use the Ziggurat algorithm originally proposed by Marsaglia and Tsang (2000, ). These functions are exported to R and as a C++ interface and are enabled for use with the default 64 bit generator from the PCG family, Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+ as well as the 64 bit version of the 20 rounds Threefry engine (Salmon et al., 2011 ) as provided by the package 'sitmo'.
