normalDensity: The probability density function of the normal distribution

Description

Returns the density function of the normal distribution with mean mu and standard deviation sigma. The returned function is a single parameter function that returns the probability of the normal distribution in that point. It is just a convinient wrapper of dnorm from the package 'stat' with some parameter checks.

Usage

normalDensity(mu, sigma)

Value

Returns a callable function with a single parameter that describes the probability of the normal distribution in that point.

Arguments

mu

the mean of the normal distribution.

sigma

the standard deviation of the normal distribution.
