Description
Negative standard deviation
Currently Normal::new
checks that std_dev
is not negative. I see no need to keep this check (GSL lacks it), though it should be pointed out that effectively the standard deviation will be std_dev.abs()
.
The only drawback is that calculations erroneously producing a negative value would no longer be detected, though I doubt this often happens (and non-negative erroneous values would still not be detected).
