Properties

Object Name

• Name of the object in Rt
• Allowable characters are upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and underscore (“_”).
• The name is unique and case-sensitive.

Start Point

• Determines the start point to generate random numbers that can either be mean, origin or current value.

Standard Deviation

• Standard deviation which is typically set as 1.

Seed

• Determines the number used to initialize a pseudorandom number generator.
• Matching seeds can generate matching sequences of non-repeating numbers.
• For more information, see James Gentle (2013).

Transformer

• Indicates the transformer object which transforms random variables from original space to the standard normal space or vice versa.

Output

• This object generates a sequence of independent random numbers from a normal distribution.
