fixed_sequence

Reuse the same sequence and samples for multiple sampling sets

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

Default: sequence not fixed: sampling patterns are variable among multiple QMC runs

## Description

The `fixed_sequence` control is similar to `fixed_seed` for other sampling methods. If `fixed_sequence` is specified, the user will get the same sequence (meaning the same set of samples) for subsequent calls of the QMC sampling method (for example, this might be used in a surrogate based optimization method or a parameter study where one wants to fix the uncertain variables).
