Plot normal distribution that range from -1 to 1
显示 更早的评论
Hi all, My question should be simple: I would plot a standard distribution with mu = 0 sigma = 1 that ranges between -1 and +1
Thanks

Well, maybe not... :)
What to do with the tails? Just truncate or do you think you want the range of the distribution itself to also be bounded?

Well, per the comment, you can't have both...try
x=linspace(-1,1);
plot(x,normpdf(x,0,1/3.5))
You can adjust the divisor for how narrow to make the actual SD to fit what you think the visual representation should be, but the standard z will have to cover the range to produce the tails in a normal. "That's just the way it is"

Purely arbitrary to get as much of the tail as you think you needs must have in the range specified [-1 1] here.
The precise way would be to pick a given tail percentage exceedance and then back out the Z for that and then compute SD from z=(x-u)/s. For u=0 that simply reduces to x/s which is the above.
>> 1-normcdf(0,3.5)
ans =
0.9998

so the above includes ~99.96% (two-sided) of the distribution in range. Of course, it's still an unbounded distribution and there's nothing to say that some rare event won't generate a value in one of those tail areas.
