Syntax

C#
public static double Normal( double x, double mean, double stdev )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function Normal ( _ x As Double, _ mean As Double, _ stdev As Double _ ) As Double

Visual C++
public: static double Normal( double x, double mean, double stdev )

x: Type: System..::.Double
A double scalar value representing the argument at which the function is to be evaluated.

stdev: Type: System..::.Double
A double scalar value containing the standard deviation.

A double containing the value of the probability density function at x

Remarks

The probability density function for a normal distribution is given by

$\frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}} {e}^{ \frac{{-(x - \mu)}^2}{{2 {\sigma}^2}} }$

where $\mu$ and $\sigma$ are the conditional mean and standard deviation.
