gaussian


gaussian, a Fortran90 code which evaluates the Gaussian function for arbitrary mu and sigma, its antiderivative, and derivatives of arbitrary order.

A formula for the Gaussian function at the point x is:

      g(x,mu,sigma) = 1/sigma/sqrt(2*pi) * exp ( -(x-mu)^2/2/sigma^2)
      
where mu is the mean value, and sigma is the standard deviation.
