/**
* This class provides the API for creating generators of random numbers.
*
* Usage examples:
*
* UniformRandomProvider rng = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.MT);
*
* or
*
* final int[] seed = new int[] { 196, 9, 0, 226 };
* UniformRandomProvider rng = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.MT, seed);
*
* or
*
* final int[] seed = RandomSource.createIntArray(256);
* UniformRandomProvider rng = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.MT, seed);
*
* where the first argument to method {@code create} is the identifier
* of the generator's concrete implementation, and the second the is the
* (optional) seed.
*
*
* In the first form, a random seed will be {@link SeedFactory generated
* automatically}; in the second form, a fixed seed is used; a random seed
* is explicitly generated in the third form.
*
*
*
* Seeding is the procedure by which a value (or set of values) is
* used to initialize a generator instance.
* The requirement that a given seed will always result in the same
* internal state allows to create different instances of a generator
* that will produce the same sequence of pseudo-random numbers.
*
*
*
* The type of data used as a seed depends on the concrete implementation
* as some types may not provide enough information to fully initialize
* the generator's internal state.
*
* The reference algorithm's seeding procedure (if provided) operates
* on a value of a (single) native type:
* Each concrete implementation's constructor creates an instance using
* the native type whose information contents is used to set the
* internal state.
*
* When the seed value passed by the caller is of the native type, it is
* expected that the sequences produced will be identical to those
* produced by other implementations of the same reference algorithm.
*
* However, when the seed value passed by the caller is not of the native
* type, a transformation is performed by this library and the resulting
* native type value will not contain more information than the
* original seed value.
* If the algorithm's native type is "simpler" than the type passed by
* the caller, then some (unused) information will even be lost.
*
* The transformation from non-native to native seed type is arbitrary,
* as long as it does not reduce the amount of information required by
* the algorithm to initialize its state.
* The consequence of the transformation is that sequences produced
* by this library may not be the same as the sequences produced
* by other implementations of the same algorithm!
*
*
*
* For each algorithm, the Javadoc mentions the "ideal" size of the seed,
* meaning the number of {@code int} or {@code long} values that is neither
* too large (i.e. some of the seed is useless) or too small (i.e. an
* internal procedure will fill the state with redundant information
* computed from the given seed).
*
*
*
* Note that some algorithms are inherently sensitive to having too low
* diversity in their initial state.
* For example, it is often a bad idea to use a seed that is mostly
* composed of zeroes, or of repeated values.
*
*
*
* This class provides methods to generate random seeds (single values
* or arrays of values, of {@code int} or {@code long} types) that can
* be passed to the {@link RandomSource#create(RandomSource,Object,Object[])
* generators factory method}.
*
*
* Although the seed-generating methods defined in this class will likely
* return different values each time they are called, there is no guarantee:
*
*
* -
* In any sub-sequence, it is
* expected that the same numbers can occur, with a probability getting
* higher as the range of allowed values is smaller and the sequence becomes
* longer.
*
* -
* It possible that the resulting "seed" will not be good (i.e.
* it will not generate a sufficiently uniformly random sequence for the
* intended purpose), even if the generator is good!
* The only way to ensure that the selected seed will make the generator
* produce a good sequence is to submit that sequence to a series of
* stringent tests, as provided by tools such as
* dieharder
* or TestU01.
*
*
*
*
* The current implementations have no provision for producing non-overlapping
* sequences.
* For parallel applications, a possible workaround is that each thread uses
* a generator of a different type (see {@link #TWO_CMRES_SELECT}).
*
*
*
* Note:
* Seeding is not equivalent to restoring the internal state of an
* already initialized generator.
* Indeed, generators can have a state that is more complex than the
* seed, and seeding is thus a transformation (from seed to state).
* Implementations do not provide the inverse transformation (from
* state to seed), hence it is not generally possible to know the seed
* that would initialize a new generator instance to the current state
* of another instance.
* Reseeding is also inefficient if the purpose is to continue the
* same sequence where another instance left off, as it would require
* to "replay" all the calls performed by that other instance (and it
* would require to know the number of calls to the primary source of
* randomness, which is also not usually accessible).
