law0032.TruncatedNormal: The Truncated Normal Distribution

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

Description

Random generation for the Truncated Normal distribution with parameters a and b.

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

Details

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

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

f(x) = [1/σ φ((x - μ)/σ)] / [Φ((b - μ)/σ) - Φ((a - μ)/σ)]

for a ≤ x ≤ b, where φ(x) is the standard normal probability density function and Φ(x) is its cumulative distribution function.
