Hi there. What would be the easiest way to generate random variables following Truncated Gumbel Distribution in Gauss? For example, gumbel distribution with upper bound.
Thanks.

Below is a function that calculates the inverse truncated Gumbel distribution.
proc (1) = cdfGumbelTruncInv(p, a, b);
local tmp, x, index, size;
tmp = exp(-exp(b./a));
x = -a .* ln(-ln((1-tmp) .* p + tmp)) + b;
//check for p == 1
index = indexcat(p, (1-__macheps)|__infp);
if not scalmiss(index);
if rows(p) == 1;
size = maxc(rows(a)|rows(b));
retp(reshape(__infp, size, 1));
endif;
x[index] = __infp;
endif;
//check for p == 0
index = indexcat(p, __infn|(0+__macheps));
if not scalmiss(index);
if rows(p) == 1;
size = maxc(rows(a)|rows(b));
retp(zeros(size, 1));
endif;
x[index] = 0;
endif;
retp(x);
endp;
By passing uniform random numbers into this function you should get random numbers with the truncated Gumbel distribution.
r = rndu(100, 1); r_gumbel = cdfGumbelTruncInv(r, 1, 1);
