truncnorm: Random simulator for the truncated normal distribution
| truncnorm | R Documentation |
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

Examples
x=truncnorm(10^3,1,2,3,4)
hist(x,nclass=123,col="wheat",prob=TRUE)
