NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference

Name:
 SetStatus_v - modify the properties of a random deviate generator
Synopsis:
rdvtype dict  SetStatus -> -
Description:
  
  Sets the parameters of the given random deviate generator to the values 
  given in the status dictionary.  The parameters depend on the particular
  generator.

  The random deviate can be a deviate implemented in C++ represented by 
  rdvtype or a SLI level deviate represented by a dictionary. For the 
  latter case SetStatus is overloaded with function SetStatus_d.
 
Examples:
SLI ] rngdict /MT19937 get 123456789 CreateRNG /rng Set
SLI ] rng rdevdict /binomial get CreateRDV /bino Set
SLI ] bino << /p 0.2 /n 10 >> SetStatus
SLI ] bino 10 RandomArray ==
[3 0 5 2 0 2 2 0 2 1]
SLI ] bino << /p 0.8  >> SetStatus
SLI ] bino 10 RandomArray ==
[8 8 8 8 10 7 7 9 6 8]
