sample_trunc_exp: Sample from a truncated exponential distribution

In eehh-stanford/baydem: Bayesian Tools for Reconstructing Past and Present Demography

Sample from a truncated exponential distribution

Description

Make N samples from a truncated exponential distribution with the density function r0exp(r0t). The rate r0 can be positive (growth) or negative (decay). The density function is normalized to integrate to 1 on the interval tau_min to tau_max.

Usage

sample_trunc_exp(N, r0, tau_min, tau_max)

Arguments

N	The number of samples to make
r0	The rate parameter
tau_min	The lower limit for truncation
tau_max	The upper limit for truncation

Value

A vector of N samples between tau_min and tau_max
