truncnorm

This is a plain random generator for a normal variate
\(\mathcal{N}(\mu,\tau^2)\) truncated
to \((a,b)\), using the inverse cdf <code>qnorm</code>. It may thus
be imprecise for extreme values of the bounds.

inverse cdf simulation

truncated normal distribution

qnorm

Allows the reenactment of the R programs used in
the book Bayesian Essentials with R without further programming.
R code being available as well, they can be modified by the user
to conduct one's own simulations.
