randtoolbox: toolbox for pseudo and quasi random number generation and RNG tests

The package provides (1) pseudo random generators - general linear congruential generators (Park Miller) and multiple recursive generators (Knuth TAOCP), generalized feedback shift register (SF-Mersenne Twister algorithm and WELL generator); (2) a quasi random generator - the Torus algorithm, the Sobol sequence, the Halton sequence (thus include Van der Corput sequence) and (3) some additional tests such as the gap test, the serial test, the poker test... For true random number generation, use the 'random' package, for Latin Hypercube Sampling (a hybrid qmc method), use the 'lhs' package, a number of RNGs and tests for RNGs are provided by 'RDieHarder', all available on CRAN.
