What is the use of set.seed in R?
The set.seed helps to create the replicate of the random generation. If the name of the object changes that does not mean the replication will be changed but if we change the position then it will. Here, in the below example x4 in the first random generation and the x_4 in the second random generation with the same set.seed are same but x4 and x4 in both are different.
Example
set.seed(101) x1<−rnorm(50) x1
