gaussian

gaussian(sigma, v) ⇒ number

This is not the standard gaussian. It lacks the normalization factor, standard gaussian would be weighted by 1 / √(2π * variance)

Kind: global function
Returns: number - Ranges from 0 to 1 (exclusive of 0)

Param	Type	Description
sigma	number	Standard deviation. Distance from mean. Represents the "width" of the Gaussian-like curve. Note: The parameter is named sigma, but its placement in the formula means it scales inversely to the usual effect of sigma.
v	number	Variance. Represents the "height" or "amplitude" of the curve, but at a distance from the mean. Larger variance values result in larger function values further away from the mean (0).
