摘要:
This note critiques a procedure suggested by Ahmad and Abd-El-Hakim for drawing random samples from a truncated bivariate normal distribution. An alternative methodology using the Gibbs sampler is described. The techniques can be used for sampling from a truncated multivariate normal distribution. The GAUSS code is included as an appendix.
