Dear NEST users,
As I understood from the documentation unless you set the seed using
nest.rng_seed, nest.random.normal (for instance) should return the same
value
nest.ResetKernel()
nest.rng_seed = 21#69696
v_m = nest.random.normal(mean=-51., std=10.)
v_m.GetValue()
In this code, I always receive the same v_m value for both cases, if the
seed is set as 21 or 69696. The only time it changes is if I remove
ResetKernel() call, which then is expected to return different values
irrespective of rng_seed.
With this code below, I also got the same results irrespective of rng_seed
value
nest.ResetKernel()
nest.rng_seed = 3333#69696
for _ in range(10):
v_m = nest.random.normal(mean=-51., std=10.)
print(v_m.GetValue())
So, maybe rng_seed doesn't reflect on nest.random.normal distribution.
However, then how can I make sure it draws a different set of values?
