This PR is a response to request #426. It implements local seed values that do not interfere with the calling code, and hence minimises side effect on
.GlobalEnv. This is especially useful for complex simulations.Some decision made:
withrcbind.mids()stores the random generator state of thexargumentibind.mids()stores the random generator state of theyargumentI tried to maintain compatibility with earlier version, but there are no guarantees. The changes made here may render existing code irreproducible, especially if you use the random generator between multiple calls to
mice. If you want exact reproducibility in such cases, I fear the only possibility is to install amiceversion prior to 3.13.11.
