\name{jags.seed}

\alias{jags.seed}

\title{Set initial value for JAGS RNGs}

\description{

  Sets the random seed used by JAGS.

}

\usage{

jags.seed(seed)

}

\arguments{

  \item{seed}{A single integer value.}

}

\details{

  This function sets the seed for the pseudo-random number generators

  (RNGs) used by JAGS making subsequent simulations reproducible.



  Once the random seed is set by \code{jags.seed}, the same seed will be

  applied to RNG factories in subsequently loaded modules. In practical

  terms this means that a call to \code{jags.seed} may come before or

  after a call to \code{load.module} and will have the same effect.

}

\note{

  The JAGS RNGs are independent of the RNGs used by R. A call to the

  base function \code{set.seed} has no effect on the RNGs used by

  JAGS, and vice versa.
