BUILT-IN MATHEMATICA SYMBOL
TruncatedDistribution
TruncatedDistribution[{xmin, xmax}, dist]
represents the distribution obtained by truncating the values of dist to lie between 
and 
.
TruncatedDistribution[{{xmin, xmax}, {ymin, ymax}, ...}, dist]
represents the distribution obtained by truncating the values of the multivariate distribution dist to lie between 
and 
, 
and 
, etc.
Details
- The probability density for TruncatedDistribution[{xmin, xmax}, dist] is given by
for 
, where 
is the PDF and 
is the CDF of dist, and is zero otherwise. - Common cases for
include: -
{-∞,xmax} truncated from above {xmin,∞} truncated from below {xmin,xmax} doubly truncated {-∞,∞},None no truncation - TruncatedDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomVariate.
