function f = normpar(ab, XLO, XUP, PLO, PUP);

% The function takes as inputs the parameters ab=[a, b] of the Normal
% distribution (a = mean, b = standard deviation), the bounds of the
% support [XLO, XUP], the the corresponding probabilities of the bounds
% [PLO, PUP] and returns the residual value f.
