🔬Data Science: Gaussian Distribution (Definitions)

"Represents a conventional scale for a normally distributed bell-shaped curve that has a central tendency of zero and a standard deviation of one unit, wherein the units are called sigma (σ)." (Lynne Hambleton, "Treasure Chest of Six Sigma Growth Methods, Tools, and Best Practices", 2007)

"Also called the standard normal distribution, is the normal distribution with mean zero and variance one." (Dimitrios G Tsalikakis et al, "Segmentation of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images", 2009)

"A normal distribution with the parameters μ = 0 and σ = 1. The random variable for this distribution is denoted by Z. The z-tables (values of the random variable Z and the corresponding probabilities) are widely used for normal distributions." (Peter Oakander et al, "CPM Scheduling for Construction: Best Practices and Guidelines", 2014)
