Abstract

This note formalizes some analytical results on the n-dimensional multivariate truncated normal distribution where truncation is one-sided and at an arbitrary point. Results on linear transformations, marginal and conditional distributions, and independence are provided. Also, results on log-concavity, A-unimodality and the MTP2 property are derived.
