Density[edit]

The present formula for the density does not vary with μ, which must be wrong. The reference has what seems to be the same formula for what seems to be the case μ=0. But there may be a more general formula somewhere. Melcombe 14:12, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. That is the formula for μ=0. I fixed the notation. Rlendog (talk) 20:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beta[edit]

What is this "beta" that appears out of nowhere and is never defined? 104.187.53.82 (talk) 01:26, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody changed beta to x in the LHS but forgot about the RHS... Fixed. Evgeny (talk) 06:09, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
