    Undergrad Deriving points conforming to bell curve

    Thanks for the input. Looking at the Box Muller transform, it is aimed at creating an x,y point in a two dimensional space. Since I was only interested in generating points along the x-axis I used the s1 part of the transform. p.Y = p'.Y + (Math.Sqrt( -2 * Math.Log( rand.NextDouble( ) ) ) *...

    Undergrad Deriving points conforming to bell curve

    Well I guess that is what I mean. So what is the formula for that?

    Undergrad Deriving points conforming to bell curve

    I am writing a system that collects values from our devices (CRAH, Generators, etc) compute the trend of the data, and determine if an alarm should be raised. For testing I have a point generator and I want it to follow fairly realistic norms. Currently I generate a new point as: p.Y = p'.Y...
