Half-Normal Distribution

Fit, evaluate, and generate random samples from half-normal distribution

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers multiple ways to work with the half-normal distribution.

  • Create a HalfNormalDistribution object and use HalfNormalDistribution object functions.

  • Use the generic distribution functions with the specified distribution name "Half Normal" and corresponding parameters.

To learn about the half-normal distribution, see Half-Normal Distribution.
