truncnorm: Random simulator for the truncated normal distribution

Description

This is a plain random generator for a normal variate $\mathcal{N}(\mu,\tau^2)$ truncated to $(a,b)$, using the inverse cdf qnorm. It may thus be imprecise for extreme values of the bounds.

Usage

truncnorm(n, mu, tau2, a, b)

Arguments

n

number of simulated variates

mu

mean of the original normal

tau2

variance of the original normal

a

lower bound

b

upper bound

Value

• a sample of real numbers over $(a,b)$ with size n
