The authors describe methods for estimating the mean and standard deviation of the normal distribution based on estimates of the mean and standard deviation determined from the folded normal. Tables ...

The general formula for the rth moment of the folded normal distribution is obtained, and formulae for the first four non-central and central moments are calculated explicitly. To illustrate the mode ...

What Is the Normal Distribution? The normal distribution formula is based on two simple parameters— mean and standard deviation —that quantify the characteristics of a given dataset.
