             Summary: Truncated Normal Distribution
                 Key: STATISTICS-27
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STATISTICS-27
             Project: Apache Commons Statistics
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Marko Malenic


This involves a new class added to distribution which implements a truncated 
normal distribution.
This is like the normal distribution, except values are bounded to a maximum or 
minimum (or both), unlike the normal distribution whose domain is infinite.

Implementation would be similar to how NormalDistribution is already structured.
There's a few ways to generate numbers, some of which are faster than others. 
Inverse transform sampling could be used for simplicity.
