PRNG

Defines the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) to use for stochastic thermostats

LSFR

Uses the Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) generators of L'Ecuyer. Please cite: L'Ecuyer, P. (1999) Tables of maximally equidistributed combined LFSR (Linear Feedback Shift Register) generators', Math. of Comput., 68, 261-269. This is the default.

MRG32

Uses the Multiple Recursive Random Number Generators (MRG32) of L'Ecuyer. Please cite: L'Ecuyer, P. (1999) Good parameters and implementations for combined multiple recursive random number generators. Operations Research, 47(1), 159-164.

BOXMULLER

Uses the box-Muller transformation of a uniformally distributed variable to a random Gaussian distribution centered on 0 and of unitary variance.

ICDF

Uses the inverse cumulative distribution fonction method (ICDF) to transform a uniformally distributed variable to a random Gaussian distribution centered on 0 and of unitary variance.
