This functionality shows up in the documentation of the function, but not the implementation.

Ideally, the ability to set the random seed when creating a new study would be added to enable reproducibility. If not, it should be removed from the documentation to avoid confusion.

I agree. It would be very nice to have reproducible experiments. Also if an error occurs it would be easier to debug as well.
