qtrunc: Quantitle Function for Truncated Random Variable
Description
This function evaluates the inverse of the cumulative distribution funciton
for a truncated random variable or so the so called quantile function for
a given vector of probabilities and the specified distribution.
Usage
qtrunc(p, spec, a = -Inf, b = Inf, ...)
Arguments
p
A vector of probabilities
spec
a character value that specifies the underlying probability distribution
a
a numeric value for the lower bound of the random variable
b
a numeric value for the upper bound of the random variable
...
other arguments are are passed to the corresponding quantile and distribution function
Value
A vector of quantile values in the range of the truncated random variable.
