   - Use `set.seed()` from R to set the seed and investigate using {rstream} to generate multiple streams of random numbers to associate distinct streams of random numbers with different sources of randomness. {rstream} was specifically designed to address the issue of needing very long streams of pseudo-random numbers for parallel computations. See [the rstream paper](https://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lecuyer/myftp/papers/rstream.pdf) and [RngStreams](http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~lecuyer/myftp/streams00/) for more details.
