#include <itkGaussianDistribution.h>
GaussianDistribution class defines the interface for a univariate Gaussian distribution (pdfs, cdfs, etc.).
GaussianDistribution provides access to the probability density function (pdf), the cumulative distribution function (cdf), and the inverse cumulative distribution function for a Gaussian distribution.
The EvaluatePDF(), EvaluateCDF, EvaluateInverseCDF() methods are all virtual, allowing algorithms to be written with an abstract interface to a distribution (with said distribution provided to the algorithm at run-time). Static methods, not requiring an instance of the distribution, are also provided. The static methods allow for optimized access to distributions when the distribution is known a priori to the algorithm.
GaussianDistributions are univariate. Multivariate versions may be provided under a separate superclass (since the parameters to the pdf and cdf would have to be vectors not scalars).
GaussianDistributions can be used for Z-score statistical tests.

static |
Static method to evaluate the inverse cumulative distribution function of a standardized (mean zero, unit variance) Gaussian. The static method provides optimized access without requiring an instance of the class. Parameter p must be between 0.0 and 1.0.
THis implementation was provided by Robert W. Cox from the Biophysics Research Institute at the Medical College of Wisconsin. This function is based off of a rational polynomial approximation to the inverse Gaussian CDF which can be found in M. Abramowitz and I.A. Stegun. Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables. John Wiley & Sons. New York. Equation 26.2.23. pg. 933. 1972.
Since the initial approximation only provides an estimate within 4.5 E-4 of the true value, 3 Newton-Raphson interations are used to refine the approximation. Accuracy is approximately 10^-8.
Let, Q(x) = (1/sqrt(2*pi)) Int_{x}^{infinity} e^{-t^2/2} dt = 0.5 * erfc(x/sqrt(2))
Given p, this function computes x such that Q(x) = p, for 0 < p < 1
Note that the Gaussian CDF is defined as P(x) = (1/sqrt(2*pi)) Int_{-infinity}{x} e^{-t^2/2} dt = 1 - Q(x)
This function has been modified to compute the inverse of P(x) instead of Q(x).
