I am trying to understand the randomgenerator options available in ED and to compare their performance--i.e. speed, accuracy.
1) Where can I find detailed information on how random numbers are being generated for each option (e.g. LCG, Mersenne twister, etc.)?
2) In the various distribution commands (e.g. Poison(e1, {e2}), how can I determine the default randomgenerator?
Thanks in advance.

Re: randomgenerator options
Hello Terril,
For the various distributions, you can pick different default randomgenerators. Just check the help section for the distribution
Normal(e1, e2, {e3]). Here a bit more is explained also on the generation of random numbers.
Hopefully this will help!
Kind regards,
Menno
