RegisterSimulations of a truncated normal distribution [General Statistics]
Hi Alex,
Never did something like that. I believe you can get the relationship between underlying mean and variance and truncated mean and variance here. Perhaps this relation is what you need to draw appropriately for your application.
❝ Does anybody know how to draw from a truncated normal distribution with prespecified (fixed) mean and variance - not in the underlying normal distribution, but in the consequent truncated normal distribution? In R function truncnorm (or other functions) you can only specify the mean and sd of the underlying normal distribution...
