Description: Provides (1) pseudo random generators - general linear
        congruential generators, multiple recursive generators and
        generalized feedback shift register (SF-Mersenne Twister
        algorithm (<doi:10.1007/978-3-540-74496-2_36>) and WELL
        (<doi:10.1145/1132973.1132974>) generators); (2) quasi random
        generators - the Torus algorithm, the Sobol sequence, the
        Halton sequence (including the Van der Corput sequence) and (3)
        some generator tests - the gap test, the serial test, the poker
        test, see, e.g., Gentle (2003) <doi:10.1007/b97336>. Take a
        look at the Distribution task view of types and tests of random
        number generators. The package can be provided without the
        'rngWELL' dependency on demand. Package in Memoriam of Diethelm
        and Barbara Wuertz.
