In statistics and probability theory, Gaussian functions appear as the density function of the normal distribution, which is a limiting probability distribution of complicated sums, according to the central limit theorem.
A Gaussian function is generally simplified by:
<MATH> f(x)=e^{\displaystyle -x^2} </MATH>
A Gaussian is a function of the form:
<MATH> f(x)=ae^{-{\frac {\displaystyle(x-b)^{2}}{\displaystyle 2c^{2}}}} </MATH> where:
// the position of the mode (ie peak) on the ''y'' axis.
var a = 0.9;
// The position of the modeon the x axis (ie the position of the pick on the x axis)
var b = -2;
// The spread (the more the more spread)
var c = 2;
// The gaussian function
var exponent = (x) => Math.pow((x-b),2) / (2*Math.pow(c,2))
var func = (x) => a * Math.pow( Math.E , -exponent(x) );
// The graph
var graph = new world.func(func)
