reset (RandStream) - Reset random stream

Class

@RandStream

Syntax

reset(s) reset(s,seed)

Description

reset(s) resets the generator for the random stream s to its initial internal state. This is similar to clearing s and recreating it using RandStream('type',...), except reset does not set the stream's RandnAlg, Antithetic, and FullPrecision properties to their original values.

reset(s,seed) resets the generator for the random stream s to the initial internal state corresponding to the seed seed. Resetting a stream's seed can invalidate independence with other streams.

Note Resetting a stream should be used primarily for reproducing results.

Examples

Create a random stream object.
```
s=RandStream('mt19937ar')
```
Make it the default stream.
```
RandStream.setDefaultStream(s)
```
Reset the stream object you just created and generate 5 uniform random values using the rand method.
```
rand(s,1,5)

ans =

    0.3631    0.4048    0.1490    0.9438    0.1247
```
Reset the stream.
```
reset(s)
```

Generate the same 5 random values from the default stream.

rand(s,1,5)

ans =

    0.3631    0.4048    0.1490    0.9438    0.1247
