rtrun

<code>rtrun</code> draws from a truncated univariate normal distribution.

distribution

Covers many important models used
in marketing and micro-econometrics applications.
The package includes:
Bayes Regression (univariate or multivariate dep var),
Bayes Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR),
Binary and Ordinal Probit,
Multinomial Logit (MNL) and Multinomial Probit (MNP),
Multivariate Probit,
Negative Binomial (Poisson) Regression,
Multivariate Mixtures of Normals (including clustering),
Dirichlet Process Prior Density Estimation with normal base,
Hierarchical Linear Models with normal prior and covariates,
Hierarchical Linear Models with a mixture of normals prior and covariates,
Hierarchical Multinomial Logits with a mixture of normals prior
and covariates,
Hierarchical Multinomial Logits with a Dirichlet Process prior and covariates,
Hierarchical Negative Binomial Regression Models,
Bayesian analysis of choice-based conjoint data,
Bayesian treatment of linear instrumental variables models,
Analysis of Multivariate Ordinal survey data with scale
usage heterogeneity (as in Rossi et al, JASA (01)),
Bayesian Analysis of Aggregate Random Coefficient Logit Models as in BLP (see
Jiang, Manchanda, Rossi 2009)

Marketing by Rossi, Allenby and McCulloch (Wiley first edition 2005 and second forthcoming) and Bayesian Non- and Semi-Parametric
Methods and Applications (Princeton U Press 2014).

Arguments

This routine is a utility routine that does not check the input arguments for proper dimensions and type.
**Note also that <code>rtrun</code> is currently affected by the numerical accuracy of the inverse CDF function when trunctation points are far out in the tails of the distribution, where &#8220;far out&#8221; means \(|a - \mu| / \sigma &gt; 6\) and/or \(|b - \mu| / \sigma &gt; 6\). A fix will be implemented in a future version of <code>bayesm</code>.
