function normalPDF(x, mu, sigma)

Calculates the probability density function

of the normal distribution with mean and variance .

• real*8 :: x
  The point where to evaluate the probability density function of the normal distribution.

• real*8 :: mu
  The mean of the distribution. If not present, the function uses mu = 0.
• real*8 :: sigma
  The variance of the distribution. If not present, the function uses sigma = 1. Note that this input variable needs to be strictly greater than zero.

• real*8 :: normalPDF
  The value of the density at x.
