dtrunc: Probability density function of truncated random variables

In truncdist: Truncated Random Variables

Description

This function computes values for the probability density function of a truncated random variable.

Usage

dtrunc(x, spec, a = -Inf, b = Inf, ...)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector of quantile values
spec	a character value that specifies the underlying probability distribution
a	a numeric value for the lower bound of the random variable
b	a numeric value for the upper bound of the random variable
...	other arguments are are passed to the corresponding quantile function

Details

The R function is used to access the required probability density and cumulative distribution functions of the underlying unrestricted random variable.

Value

A vector of density function values.
