In reply to Rick Wicklin.

Hello, Rick. I just read your post on orthogonal matrix generation and know you are writing a book on simulation. When will your book on simulation using SAS come out? Can I buy an early version? Perhaps reading your book can save me hours and hours of work!

Last year, I posed a SAS support request:

SAS tech support number: 7610634360
title: reproducible Mersenne-Twister random number stream: SAS vs R

Would it be interesting to tackle this problem using Proc IML in your book? If so, please let me know.

Best regards,
Wex

A major simulation work requires me to use reproducible random number stream between SAS & R. The enclosed results show how I can keep track of random number generation results from the Mersenne-Twister (1998) algorithm from SAS. As far as your statistical experts know, can this stream be reproduced by R?
