Meanings

1. Of or pertaining to Carl Friedrich Gauss.
   • The problem of inversion of the mgf/chf of a sum of lognormals to obtain the CDF/pdf is considered with special reference to methods related to Post Widder technique, Gaussian quadrature and the Fourier series method. 2016, N B Chakrabarti, “A Note on a Sum of Lognormals”, in arXiv:
2. Normal.
   • The criterion for positivity was determined for each antigen of each species applying a mixture model to the PP data which assumed two inherent Gaussian distributions: a narrow distribution or seronegatives, and a broader distribution of seropositives. 2015 September 11, “Hotspots of Malaria Transmission in the Peruvian Amazon: Rapid Assessment through a Parasitological and Serological Survey”, in PLOS ONE, →DOI:

   alt of Gaussian function
   • These conditions provide a framework which encompasses some notable approximation kernels including splines, so-called cardinal functions, and many radial basis functions such as the Gaussians and general multiquadrics. 2016, Keaton Hamm, Jeff Ledford, “Regular Families of Kernels for Nonlinear Approximation”, in arXiv:
2. The normal distribution.
3. A holographic element, a fuzzy volume of a specified shape with view-direction dependent coloration.
