The NormalDistributionParameter type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	NormalDistributionParameter(String)	Initializes a new instance of the NormalDistributionParameter class. Creates a non-indexed normal distribution parameter.
	NormalDistributionParameter(String, array<Set[])	Initializes a new instance of the NormalDistributionParameter class. Creates an indexed normal distribution parameter.
	NormalDistributionParameter(String, Double, Double)	Initializes a new instance of the NormalDistributionParameter class. Creates a non-indexed normal distribution parameter by using the specified values.

Methods

	Name	Description
	DataBind	Binds the data to the solver context. (Inherited from RandomParameter.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetIndexFieldGetters<T>	Creates get accessors for each index. (Inherited from RandomParameter.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	SetBinding<T>(IEnumerable<T>, String, String)	Binds parameters to data.
	SetBinding<T>(IEnumerable<T>, String, String, array<String[])	Binds parameters to data using the specified properties.
	SetIndexSet	Returns the specified index set. (Inherited from RandomParameter.)
	ToString()	Converts a parameter to its equivalent string representation. (Inherited from RandomParameter.)
	ToString(String, IFormatProvider)	Converts a term to its equivalent string representation. (Inherited from Term.)
	VerifyModelNotFrozen	Verifies that the associated model is not frozen. (Inherited from RandomParameter.)

Remarks

A normal distribution is a bell-shaped continuous random distribution. The distribution is defined by its mean value and its standard distribution. The distribution is symmetric around the mean value. Variance is sometimes used instead of standard deviation to define a normal distribution; the variance is the square of the standard deviation.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
