RiskTruncateP

Description

RiskTruncateP(perc% minimum, perc% maximum) truncates the corresponding input distribution to percentiles of the original distribution.  Truncating a distribution restricts samples drawn from the distribution to values within the entered minimum-maximum range.  Truncated forms of specific distributions available in earlier versions of @RISK (such as RiskTnormal and RiskTlognorm) are still supported.

Examples

RiskTriang(10,20,30,RiskTruncate(0.01,0.99)) restricts the samples drawn from the RiskTriang(10,20,30) distribution to the range between the 1^st percentile and 99^th percentile of the original distribution.

Guidelines

perc% minimum must be less than or equal to perc% maximum.

perc% minimum and perc% maximum must be between 0 and 1.

Distribution functions that contain a RiskTruncateP property function cannot be displayed in the Define Distribution window 

As with RiskTruncate, to enter a distribution that is truncated on only one side, leave the argument for the unbounded side blank.
