The Nontruncated Marginal of a Truncated Bivariate Normal Distribution.

Arnold, Barry C.; And Others

Psychometrika, v58 n3 p471-88 Sep 1993

Inference is considered for the marginal distribution of "X" when ("X", "Y") has a truncated bivariate normal distribution. The "Y" variable is truncated, but only the "X" values are observed. A sample of 87 Otis test scores is shown to be well described by this model. (SLD)
