Random number generation from a truncated Normal distribution

Generates random numbers from a truncated Normal distribution.

Usage

rtn(n, mean = 0, sd = 1, range = c(0, Inf))

Arguments

n

An integer specifying the number of random samples to generate.

mean

A numeric scalar representing the mean of the underlying normal distribution. Defaults to 0.

sd

A numeric scalar representing the standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution. Defaults to 1.

range

A numeric vector of length 2 specifying the lower and upper truncation bounds. Defaults to c(0, Inf), indicating truncation from below at 0.

Value

A numeric vector of length n containing random numbers drawn from the specified truncated normal distribution.
