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.

Thanks for your sampling method and it really helped me a lot, but when I tried the scalar case, error always occurred saying that
Inner matrix dimensions must agree.
Error in cholperm (line 20)
tl=(l(I)-L(I,1:j-1)*z(1:j-1))./s;
Could you please take a look at it?

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
