probability distribution function (normal distribution)
This function calculates the probability under the normal distribution curve, plots the graph and the area calculated.
%Normaldistribution
%
% calculating the area under a normal distribution curve
% from -ve infinity upto point x.
%
% Input:
% x : point on the normal distribution curve
% mean : mean of the normal distribution curve
% sigma : standard deviation of the normal distribution curve
% (hint: normal dist mean=0, sigma=1)
% plotting: Plot the calculated area if plotting = 1
% Output: area under the curve.
%
% Example:
% x=[-20:20] % your data points
% sigma=length(x)/2/3.5 % PDF width is 3.5 sigma
% mean=0 % mean between -20 and 20
% normaldistribution(0, mean, sigma,1) % Calculate area from -inf to 0
