rndLCvm ============================================== Purpose ---------------- Computes von Mises pseudo-random numbers. .. NOTE:: This function is deprecated but remains for backward compatibility. Format ---------------- .. function:: { x, newstate } = rndLCvm(r, c, m, k, state) :param r: number of rows of resulting matrix. :type r: scalar :param c: number of columns of resulting matrix. :type c: scalar :param m: means for von Mises distribution, scalar or ExE conformable matrix with *r* and *c*. :type m: matrix, vector or scalar :param k: shape argument von Mises distribution, scalar or ExE conformable matrix with *r* and *c*. :type k: matrix, vector or scalar :param state: **scalar case** *state* = starting seed value only. System default values are used for the additive and multiplicative constants. The defaults are 1013904223, and 1664525, respectively. These may be changed with `rndcon` and `rndmult`. If *state* = -1, GAUSS computes the starting seed based on the system clock. **3x1 vector case** .. csv-table:: :widths: auto "[1]", "the starting seed, uses the system clock if -1" "[2]", "the multiplicative constant" "[3]", "the additive constant" **4x1 vector case** *state* = the state vector returned from a previous call to one of the ``rndLC`` random number generators. :type state: scalar or vector :return x: von Mises distributed random numbers. :rtype x: RxC matrix :return newstate: .. csv-table:: :widths: auto "[1]", "the updated seed" "[2]", "the multiplicative constant" "[3]", "the additive constant" "[4]", "the original initialization seed" :rtype newstate: 4x1 vector Remarks ------- *r* and *c* will be truncated to integers if necessary. Technical Notes --------------- This function uses a linear congruential method, discussed in Kennedy, W.J. Jr., and J.E. Gentle, *Statistical Computing*, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 1980, pp. 136-147. Each seed is generated from the preceding seed using the formula .. math:: new\_seed = (((a * seed) \% 2^{32})+ c) \% 2^{32} where ``%`` is the mod operator and where *a* is the multiplicative constant and *c* is the additive constant.
