Statistics

restricting a distribution to a range, so values outside it are never observed.

In statistics, truncation refers to restricting a distribution to a range, so values outside it are never observed. This meaning comes from Hausman (1977) in Econometrica. Here truncation is not the error from approximating an infinite process by a finite number of steps.[1]

Numerical Analysis

In numerical analysis, truncation refers to the error from approximating an infinite process by a finite number of steps. This meaning comes from Burden (1978) in Numerical analysis. Here truncation is not restricting a distribution to a range, so values outside it are never observed.[2]
