The correlation in a singly truncated binormal distribution is obtained in terms of Mills' ratio using the Mehler identity and a table of the correlations in the underlying distribution as a function of the correlation in the truncated distribution is presented.

Abstract

The correlation in a singly truncated binormal distribution is obtained in terms of Mills' ratio using the Mehler identity. A table of the correlation in the underlying distribution as a function of the correlation in the truncated distribution is presented, together with a diagram summarizing this relationship.
