Hi,
Has anyone encountered the problem of rgamma function in C? The
following simplified program always dies for me, and I wonder if anyone
can tell me the reason.
#include <Rmath.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <Rinternals.h>
SEXP generateGamma ()
{
srand(time(NULL));
return (rgamma(5000,1));
}
Has anyone encountered a similar problem before? Is there another way of
generating Gamma random variable in C?
P.S. I have no problem compiling and loading this function in R.
Thanks for suggestions in advance!
