A The name of this probability density function

[Ad VanderVen]

TL;DR Summary

Looking for the name of some probability density function.

Does anyone knows the name of the probability density function

f(y) =ae^by-cy2

 

[willem2]

Isn't that just the normal distibution? Complete the square in the exponent.

 

[Ad VanderVen]

Could be, but this function has support $$y \in (0, \infty)$$.

 

[RPinPA]

I think that just makes it a truncated normal.

 

[Ad VanderVen]

I thought so too.
