It is a distribution for random vectors of correlated variables, where each vector element has a univariate normal distribution. If you need a betweentwovalues probability that is, pa 1 4 for b the larger of the two values and again for a the smaller of the two values, and subtract the results. You can export an object from the app and use the object functions.
What is the difference between gaussian and normal. Create probability distribution object matlab makedist. The zeroargument form normaldistribution is equivalent to normaldistribution 0, 1 and is sometimes called the standard normal distribution.
