gen.trun: Generates a Truncate Distribution from a gamlss.family
In gamlss.tr: Generating and fitting truncated (gamlss.family) distributions

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

The gen.trun() function allows the user to generate the d, the p, the q, the r and the gamlss fitting functions of a truncated distribution given that the input family is a current GAMLSS family distribution.

For continuous distributions left truncation at 3 means that the random variable can take the value 3. For discrete distributions left truncation at 3 means that the random variable can take values from 4 onwards. This is the same for right truncation. Truncation at 15 for a discrete variable means that 15 and greater values are not allowed but for continuous variable it mean values greater that 15 are not allowed (so 15 is a possible value).

1	gen.trun(par = c(0), family = "NO", name = "tr", type = c("left", "right", "both"), ...)

`par`	a vector with one (for `left` or `right` truncation) or two elements for `both`
`family`	a `gamlss.family` object, which is used to define the distribution and the link functions of the various parameters. The distribution families supported by `gamlss()` can be found in `gamlss.family`. Functions such as BI() (binomial) produce a family object.
`name`	the characters you want to add to the name of new truncated distribution, by default adds `tr`
`type`	whether `left`, `right` or in `both` sides truncation is required
`...`	for extra arguments

Returns the d, the p, the q and the r functions of a truncated distribution
