Truncated Normal and Student's t-distribution toolbox
version 2.0.0.0 (839 KB) by
Zdravko Botev
Perfect simulation from the truncated (multivariate) normal and student's t-distribution.
The toolbox includes:
1. fast random number generators from the truncated univariate and multivariate student/normal distributions;
2. (Quasi-) Monte Carlo estimator of the cumulative distribution function of the multivariate student/normal;
3. accurate computation of the quantile function of the normal distribution in the extremes of its tails.

What can I do to sample from a truncated multivariate Gaussian with non-zero mean when the number of inequality constraints is greater than the dimensionality of the random vector (matrix A is not squared)?
Thanks for sharing. Best regards

Thanks for making this toolbox available!
