In Truncated Normal Distribution?

In probability and statistics, the truncated normal distribution is the probability distribution derived from that of a normally distributed random variable by bounding the random variable from either below or above (or both). The truncated normal distribution has wide applications in statistics and econometrics.

What does truncated distribution mean in statistics?

In statistics, a truncated distribution is a conditional distribution that results from restricting the domain of some other probability distribution.

How do you truncate a distribution?

To truncate a distribution is to restrict its values to an interval and re-normalize the density so that the integral over that range is 1. where ϕμ,σ2(x) is the N(μ,σ2) density. You could sample from this density in a number of ways.
