set_rng

sherpa.astro.ui.set_rng(rng: RandomType | None) → None

Set the RNG generator.

Added in version 4.16.0: This replaces the seed argument for certain routines and the need to explicitly call numpy.random.seed in others.

Parameters:

rngnumpy.random.Generator, numpy.random.RandomState, or None

Determines how random numbers are created. If set to None then the routines in numpy.random are used, and so can be controlled by calling numpy.random.seed.
