NAG CL Interface
g01kac (pdf_​normal)

1 Purpose

2 Specification

3 Description

4 References

5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{x}$ – double Input

On entry: $x$, the value at which the PDF is to be evaluated.

2: $\mathbf{xmean}$ – double Input

On entry: $\mu$, the mean of the Normal distribution.

3: $\mathbf{xstd}$ – double Input

On entry: $\sigma$, the standard deviation of the Normal distribution.

Constraint: $z<\mathbf{xstd}\sqrt{2\pi }<1.0/z$, where $z=\mathbf{nag\_real\_safe\_small\_number}$, the safe range parameter.

4: $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR

An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

NE_NO_LICENCE

Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

NE_OVERFLOW

Computation abandoned owing to an internal calculation overflowing.

NE_REAL

On entry, $\mathbf{xstd}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{xstd}\times \sqrt{2.0\pi }>U$, where $U$ is the safe range parameter as defined by X02AMC.

NE_UNDERFLOW

Computation abandoned owing to underflow of $\frac{1}{(\sigma \times \sqrt{2\pi })}$.
