{SeedMaker} is a mechanism for easily generating and organizing a collection of seeds from a single seed, which may be subsequently used to ensure reproducibility in processes/pipelines that utilize multiple random components (e.g., trial simulation).
Install the released version of {SeedMaker} from CRAN:
install.packages("SeedMaker")Or install the development version of {SeedMaker} from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("hdhshowalter/SeedMaker")The following calls are representative of the most common ways to
engage seed_maker():
