โฆ Synopsis
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. Another algorithm for obtaining random vectors from truncated bivariate normal distribution is presented.
