//! # Normal Distribution
//!
//! The Normal (Gaussian) distribution N(μ, σ) is the most widely used continuous
//! distribution, arising naturally as the limiting distribution of sums and averages
//! of independent random variables (Central Limit Theorem).
//!
//! **PDF**: f(x) = 1/(σ√(2π)) · exp(−(x−μ)²/(2σ²))
//!
//! **CDF**: F(x) = Φ((x−μ)/σ), where Φ is the standard normal CDF
//!
//! ## Medical applications
//!
//! | Measurement | Typical parameters |
//! |-------------|-------------------|
//! | **Systolic blood pressure** (healthy adults) | N(120, 10) mmHg |
//! | **Diastolic blood pressure** (healthy adults) | N(80, 8) mmHg |
//! | **Adult height** (men, Western population) | N(175, 7) cm |
//! | **Haemoglobin** (adult men) | N(14.5, 1.0) g/dL |
//! | **Body temperature** | N(37.0, 0.4) °C |
//! | **IQ scores** (by design) | N(100, 15) |
//! | **Lab measurement error** | N(0, σ_instrument) |
//!
//! ## Example — blood pressure reference intervals
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rs_stats::distributions::normal_distribution::Normal;
//! use rs_stats::distributions::traits::Distribution;
//!
//! // Diastolic BP in a healthy cohort: N(80, 8) mmHg
//! let bp = Normal::new(80.0, 8.0).unwrap();
//!
//! // P(DBP > 90 mmHg) — stage 1 hypertension threshold
//! let p_high = 1.0 - bp.cdf(90.0).unwrap();
//! println!("P(DBP > 90 mmHg) = {:.1}%", p_high * 100.0);  // ≈ 10.6%
//!
//! // 95% reference interval (2.5th – 97.5th percentile)
//! let lower = bp.inverse_cdf(0.025).unwrap();
//! let upper = bp.inverse_cdf(0.975).unwrap();
//! println!("Reference interval: [{:.1}, {:.1}] mmHg", lower, upper);
//!
//! // Fit to patient data (MLE: μ̂ = mean, σ̂ = pop std-dev)
//! let readings = vec![78.0, 82.0, 79.0, 85.0, 81.0, 77.0, 83.0, 80.0];
//! let fitted = Normal::fit(&readings).unwrap();
//! println!("Fitted μ = {:.2}, σ = {:.2}", fitted.mean(), fitted.std_dev());
//! ```
