Detailed Description

This function computes the probability density function (pdf) p(x) at x for a Gaussian distribution with standard deviation scale, using the formula given above.

It returns the value of the function

\[ p(x) = {1 \over \sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2}} \exp (-x^2 / 2\sigma^2) \]

Here the argument x may be scalar or a 1D-vector
