In XiaoruiZhu/parasol: Assessing the Partial Association Between Ordinal Variables

Simulate sample from truncated distribution

Description

a function to generate truncated distribution. Simulate one random sample from a standard normal distribution truncated to the left in the middle .rtrunc(1, spec = "norm", a = -Inf, b = 0)

Usage

.rtrunc(n, spec, a = -Inf, b = Inf, ...)

Arguments

n	the number of observations.
spec	a character string to specify the distribution.
a	lower bound.
b	upper bound.
...	any other arguments that can be used for the functions of different distribution such as "mean", "sd" for "qnorm()".

Value

A vector contains n random samples from the truncated distribution "spec".
