Normal

Normal (Gaussian) distribution parameterized by mean (with default value 0.0) and stddev (with default value 1.0).

The probability density function with μ\mu representing the mean and σ\sigma representing the stddev is given by,

f(xμ,σ)=1σ2πexp(12(xμσ)2)f(x | \mu, \sigma) = \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)^2\right)

Constructors
