# WICHMANN-HILL RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR
#
# Wichmann, B. A. & Hill, I. D. (1982)
# Algorithm AS 183:
# An efficient and portable pseudo-random number generator
# Applied Statistics 31 (1982) 188-190
#

# Correction to Algorithm AS 183

#
# USE:
# whrandom.random() yields double precision random numbers
# uniformly distributed between 0 and 1.
#
# whrandom.seed(x, y, z) must be called before whrandom.random()
# to seed the generator
#
# There is also an interface to create multiple independent
# random generators, and to choose from other ranges.
