Is it possible to generate specific random numbers?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
The generation of unique random numbers is done simply through randperm.
example
function idx=RandNumberSequence(Key,N)
% using Key as seed to the used random number generator.
Key = max(cumsum(double(Key))) ;
s=rng(Key); % Set the random number generator seed
idx=randperm(N);
end
The question is, given certain N random numbers, is it possible to select the Key that generates these N numbers?
let N=10, let te random numbers be 89, 70, 10, 12, 67, 25, 200, 18, 90, 86
Key=? (to be selected)

Sure.
seedvalue = 0;
expected = [89 70 10 12 67 25 200 18 90 86];
rng(seedvalue, 'twister');
actual = randperm(max(expected), numel(expected));
while ~isequal(actual, expected)
seedvalue = seedvalue + 1;
rng(seedvalue, 'twister');
actual = randperm(max(expected), numel(expected));
end
It may take a while. This assumes you haven't manually created a state vector (which would be an advanced maneuver.)
If you're asking if there's a clever way to directly go from the sequence to the seed value, I'm not aware of any offhand.
If you know you're going to need or want to reproduce a given sequence, record the seed before generating the sequence.

However, Speed is the main challenge espicially for long sequence. Is it possible to parallelize the code?

Yes, this code could be parallelized through the use of parfor to sweep the seed space. But if speed is of the essence the best solution is to record the seed before you generate the sequence rather than trying to determine the seed after the fact.
