TruncNormal: Truncated normal distribution

In extraDistr: Additional Univariate and Multivariate Distributions

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the truncated normal distribution.

Usage

dtnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 1, a = -Inf, b = Inf, log = FALSE)

ptnorm(
  q,
  mean = 0,
  sd = 1,
  a = -Inf,
  b = Inf,
  lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE
)

qtnorm(
  p,
  mean = 0,
  sd = 1,
  a = -Inf,
  b = Inf,
  lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE
)

rtnorm(n, mean = 0, sd = 1, a = -Inf, b = Inf)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
mean, sd	location and scale parameters. Scale must be positive.
a, b	lower and upper truncation points (a < x <= b, with a = -Inf and b = Inf by default).
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X ≤ x] otherwise, P[X > x].
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

Details

Probability density function

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

Cumulative distribution function

F(x) = (Φ((x-μ)/σ) - Φ((a-μ)/σ)) / (Φ((b-μ)/σ) - Φ((a-μ)/σ))

Quantile function

F^-1(p) = Φ^-1(Φ((a-μ)/σ) + p * (Φ((b-μ)/σ) - Φ((a-μ)/σ)))

For random generation algorithm described by Robert (1995) is used.
