rtnorm function

Testing truncated Normal sampling

Testing truncated Normal sampling

Truncated Normal latents are necessary to transform a binary BART into a continuous BART.

rtnorm(n, mean, sd, tau)

Arguments

  • n: Number of samples.
  • mean: Mean.
  • sd: Standard deviation.
  • tau: Truncation point.

Returns

Returns n truncated Normals, i.e., N(mean,sd)I(tau,infinity)N(mean, sd)I(tau, infinity).
