method
Set the internal state of the generator from a tuple.
For use if one has reason to manually (re-)set the internal state of the bit generator used by the RandomState instance. By default, RandomState uses the “Mersenne Twister”[1] pseudo-random number generating algorithm.
The state tuple has the following items:
the string ‘MT19937’, specifying the Mersenne Twister algorithm.
a 1-D array of 624 unsigned integers keys
.
an integer pos
.
an integer has_gauss
.
a float cached_gaussian
.
If state is a dictionary, it is directly set using the BitGenerators state property.
Returns ‘None’ on success.
Notes
set_state
and get_state
are not needed to work with any of the random distributions in NumPy. If the internal state is manually altered, the user should know exactly what he/she is doing.
For backwards compatibility, the form (str, array of 624 uints, int) is also accepted although it is missing some information about the cached Gaussian value: state = ('MT19937', keys, pos)
.
