A scalar input for x or b is expanded to a constant array with the same dimensions as the other input the rayleigh pdf is. Three approximations are compared and their merits discussed in regard to simplicity and accuracy. The usual justification for using the normal distribution for modeling is the central limit theorem, which states roughly that the sum of independent samples from any distribution with finite mean and variance converges to the. Unlike the nonstandardized t distributions, the noncentral distributions are not symmetric the median is not the same as the mode.
