Problem with integration of Normal PDF

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
When I expand the limits of integration, the result goes to zero, which does not make any sense, since the function is always positive. Here is an example of the output I am getting:
>> integral(@(x)normpdf(x),-10^1,10)
ans =
1.000000000000000
>> integral(@(x)normpdf(x),-10^100,10)
ans =
0
If someone knows a proper way to integrate the normpdf function please let me know.
Thanks!

Use the "Waypoints" option, i.e. distribute points in the region where the mass of your function is located (in this case around x=0).
Best wishes
