NormalDistribution

Create a normal distribution from its standard deviation.

---

Declaration

 self = NormalDistribution(sigma=<value>)

Parameters

• options.sigma positive standard deviation, default 1

Returns

• self NormalDistribution instance

Discussion

Use this constructor for a zero-mean Gaussian model with variance \(\sigma^{2}.\) When called with no inputs, the constructor uses the default scale \(\sigma = 1.\)
