22 // Generic random number generator class which is template on the type //
23 // of engine. Using this class different random number generator all //
24 // implementing the TRandom interface can be built. //
25 // The available random number engine that can be presently used are //
26 // * ROOT::Math::MixMaxEngine to create random number generators //
27 // based on the MIXMAX family of generators. Different generators //
28 // can be created for different state N. //
29 // * ROOT::MATH::StdEngine to create genersators based on engines //
30 // provided by the C++ standard libraries
31 //
32 // Convenient typedef are defines to define the different types of
33 // generators. These typedef are
34 // * TRandomMixMax for the MixMaxEngine<240,0> (MIXMAX with state N=240)
35 // * TRandomMixMax17 for the MixMaxEngine<17,0> (MIXMAX with state N=17)
36 // * TRandomMixMax256 for the MixMaxEngine<256,2> (MIXMAX with state N=256 )
37 // * TRandomMT64 for the StdEngine<std::mt19937_64> ( MersenneTwister 64 bits)
38 // * TRandomRanlux48 for the StdEngine<std::ranlux48> (Ranlux 48 bits)
