Hello everyone!
I want to create a data vector using the "rnorm" command. Let's say /x <-
rnorm(100, 1, 2)/. This gives me 100 values from the specific normal
distribution. However, I want to generate a variable that has a certain
range of values, e.g. values can't exceed the interval /[-3.7; 3.7]/. How
can I implement such an interval?
What you are asking for amounts to drawing a sample from a *truncated*
normal distribution.
Try
RSiteSearch("truncated normal")
to find appropriate functions to effect this procedure.
