probability distribution function (normal distribution)

This function calculates the probability under the normal distribution curve

This function calculates the probability under the normal distribution curve, plots the graph and the area calculated.

%Normaldistribution
%
% calculating the area under a normal distribution curve
% from -ve infinity upto point x.
%
% Input:
% x : point on the normal distribution curve
% mean : mean of the normal distribution curve
% sigma : standard deviation of the normal distribution curve
% (hint: normal dist mean=0, sigma=1)
% plotting: Plot the calculated area if plotting = 1
% Output: area under the curve.
%
% Example:
% x=[-20:20] % your data points
% sigma=length(x)/2/3.5 % PDF width is 3.5 sigma
% mean=0 % mean between -20 and 20
% normaldistribution(0, mean, sigma,1) % Calculate area from -inf to 0
