Signature de la méthode advance

Description

advance.__doc__

        advance(delta)

        Advance the underlying RNG as-if delta draws have occurred.

        Parameters
        ----------
        delta : integer, positive
            Number of draws to advance the RNG. Must be less than the
            size state variable in the underlying RNG.

        Returns
        -------
        self : PCG64
            RNG advanced delta steps

        Notes
        -----
        Advancing a RNG updates the underlying RNG state as-if a given
        number of calls to the underlying RNG have been made. In general
        there is not a one-to-one relationship between the number output
        random values from a particular distribution and the number of
        draws from the core RNG.  This occurs for two reasons:

        * The random values are simulated using a rejection-based method
          and so, on average, more than one value from the underlying
          RNG is required to generate an single draw.
        * The number of bits required to generate a simulated value
          differs from the number of bits generated by the underlying
          RNG.  For example, two 16-bit integer values can be simulated
          from a single draw of a 32-bit RNG.

        Advancing the RNG state resets any pre-computed random numbers.
        This is required to ensure exact reproducibility.
