atompy.gauss(x, scale='pdf', mu=0.0, sigma=1.0)[source]#

Gaussian function.

Parameters:
xarray_like

x-values where the Gaussian will be evaluated.

scalearray_like or str

The scale of the Gaussian.

If a string, must be one of the following:

“pdf”

Return probability density function of a normal distribution.

“integral”

Return Gaussian normalized to the integral within the x-range. x must be equally spaced.

“sum”

Return Gaussian normalized to the sum of all y-values.

“max”

Return Gaussian normalized to 1.

muarray_like, default 0.0

Mean or expectation value of the Gaussian.

sigmaarray_like, default 1.0

Variance of the Gaussian.

Returns:
yndarray
