hermite_normalization

The method returns numeric normalization factors that, when multiplied by 
the physicist Hermite polynomials times a Gaussian factor i.e.
\(\exp{x^2/2}H_k(x)\), yields orthonormal 
Hermite functions \(h_k(x)\) for \(k=0,\dots,N\).

Facilitates estimation of full univariate and bivariate
probability density functions and cumulative distribution functions along with
full quantile functions (univariate) and nonparametric correlation
(bivariate) using Hermite series based estimators. These estimators are
particularly useful in the sequential setting (both stationary and
non-stationary) and one-pass batch estimation setting for large data sets.
