law0030.FoldedNormal: The Folded Normal Distribution

In PoweR: Computation of Power and Level Tables for Hypothesis Tests

Description

Random generation for the Folded Normal distribution with parameters mu and sigma.

This generator is called by function gensample to create random variables based on its parameters.

Details

If mu and sigma are not specified they assume the default values of 0 and 1, respectively.

The Folded Normal distribution with parameters mu = μ and sigma = σ has density:

f(x) = 1/(√(2π) σ) e^-((-x - μ)^2/(2 σ^2)) + 1/(√(2π) σ) e^-((x - μ)^2/(2 σ^2))

for x ≥ 0.
