1.1.1 Gaussian Distribution

The propability, G(x), for the magnitude of offset noise x is exponentially decreasing , with a slope or variance v. The area under the curve must be 1 since the total probability is 1. In general:

G(x) = (1/(sigma*sqrt(2*pi)))*e(-0.5*(x-x0/sigma)2)

where:
   x0 is the mean
   sigma is the standard deviation
