[R] multivariate sampling question again

[Peng Zhang]

Dr. Bolker

I just wrote it yesterday. Thank you anyway. However do you have some
ideas about sampling from restricted beta distribution. say from beta(a,
b) but value between m and n. Now I generate lots of samples from beta(a,
b) and then choose value between m and n, but it is very time-consuming.
Do you have some good ideas? Thanks again!

Best wishes,
Peng
