The Normal Distribution
Description
Random generation for the Normal distribution with parameters mu
and sigma
.
This generator is called by function gensample
to create random variables based on its parameters.
Details
If mu
or sigma
are not specified they assume the default values of 0 and 1, respectively.
The Normal distribution has density:
(\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma)^{-1}\exp^{-\frac{x^2}{2\sigma^2}}
where \mu
is the mean of the distribution and \sigma
is the standard deviation.
