A simple and easily implemented algorithm is presented for obtaining random variables from a truncated standard normal distribution. The algorithm is based on a generalization of Von Neumann's rejection technique. The first-stage sampling in our algorithm is from the truncated logistic distribution.
Given a sequence XI,X2 .... of iid random vectors, call X. a record if there is a record simultaneously in all coordinates at index n. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the probability that X, is a record under the assumption that the underlying distribution is normal.
