Definition of Gaussian distribution in English:
Gaussian distribution
nounˈɡaʊsɪənˈɡousēən ˌdistrəˌbyo͞oSH(ə)n
Statistics another term for normal distribution
Example sentencesExamples
- In order to solve concrete problems Aleksandrov had to replace the Gaussian geometry of regular surfaces by a much more general theory.
- The intensity, width, and center of the diffraction peaks were obtained from a fit with a Gaussian bell curve.
- However, the error bound is based on the assumption that the errors are distributed according to a normal or Gaussian probability distribution.
- In a random matrix, the rows and columns are filled with numbers randomly selected from a normal, or Gaussian, distribution.
- The distance and angle frequency distributions were not Gaussian and were calculated on the basis of entities of different sizes.
Origin
Early 20th century: named after Karl Gauss (see Gauss, Karl Friedrich), who described it.
