SIMULATION OF TRUNCATED GAMMA VARIABLES

  • Published : 1998.09.01

Abstract

Simulation algorithms for one-sided and two-sided trun-cated gamma distributions are proposed. These algorithms suggest the optimal choice of derived functions. Some results of simulation are given. Finally an application with real data is presented.
