Gaussian distribution (Normal distribution, 정규분포)
정규분포의 특징
- a continuous probability distribution
- if normal, mean (average) = median (midpoint) = mode (most frequent observation)
- distribution falls symmetrically around the mean
- width is defined by the standard deviation
정규분포식
f(x)=σ2π1e−21(σx−μ)2
X∼N(μ, σ2),μ=0,σ=1
- x = value of the variable or data being examined and f(x) the probability function
- μ = the mean
- σ = the standard deviation
- values of the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) are necessary
- all normal distributions can be described by just two parameters: the mean and the standard deviation
