Density, distribution function, quantile function, random generation and expected value function for the truncated normal distribution with mean equal to 'mean' and standard deviation equal to 'sd'.

x, q
|
vector of quantiles. |
p |
vector of probabilites. |
n |
number of observations. If 'length(n) > 1', the length is taken to be the number required. |
a |
vector of lower bounds. These may be |
b |
vector of upper bounds. These may be |
mean |
vector of means. |
sd |
vector of standard deviations. |
If mean or sd are not specified they assume the default values of
0 and 1, respectively. The values of a, b,
mean and sd are recycled as needed.
The numerical arguments other than n are recycled to the length
of the result.
'dtruncnorm' gives the density, 'ptruncnorm' gives the distribution function, 'qtruncnorm' gives the quantile function, 'rtruncnorm' generates random deviates, 'etruncnorm' gives the expected value and 'vtruncnorm' the variance of the distribution.

much improved rtruncnorm implementation using an accept-reject sampler.
The accept-reject sampler follows the description given in
