How do I truncate a normally distributed random variable?

1 visualizzazione (ultimi 30 giorni)
I have a random variable 'y' that follows the normal distribution. For example:
x = -4:0.1:4;
y = normpdf(x);
I need to create another vector consisting of elements of 'y' truncated at a certain point, how do I do that?

xtl = 2.0; % left point of trunction
xtr = Inf; % right point of truncation
x = -4:0.1:4;
y = normpdf(x);
yt = normpdf(x)/(normcdf(xtr)-normcdf(xtl)).*(x>=xtl).*(x<=xtr);
