Struct probability::distribution::Gaussian

pub struct Gaussian { /* private fields */ }

A Gaussian distribution.

Implementations

impl Gaussian

pub fn new(mu: f64, sigma: f64) -> Self

Create a Gaussian distribution with mean mu and standard deviation sigma.

It should hold that sigma > 0.

pub fn mu(&self) -> f64

Return the mean.

pub fn sigma(&self) -> f64

Return the standard deviation.
