Abstract
The target measure is the distribution of a random vector in a box , a Cartesian product of bounded intervals. The Gibbs sampler is a Markov chain with invariant measure . A ``coupling from the past'' construction of the Gibbs sampler is used to show ergodicity of the dynamics and to perfectly simulate . An algorithm to sample vectors with multinormal distribution truncated to is then implemented.
