# Chapter 1: Theoretical Foundation of Gaussian Distribution**
The Gaussian distribution, also known as the normal distribution, is a continuous probability distribution characterized by its probability density function:
```
f(x) = (1 / (σ√(2π))) * e^(-(x - μ)² / (2σ²))
```
Where μ represents the mean and σ is the standard deviation.
The Gaussian distribution has the following properties:
***Symmetry:** The distribution is symmetric around the mean.
***Bell-shaped curve:** The distribution is shaped like a bell, peaking at the mean.
***Asymptotic tails:** The tails of the distribution fall off exponentially.

### 2.1 Fitting Based on Normal Distribution Probability Density Function
#### 2.1.1 Normal Distribution Probability Density Function Formula
The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, has the probability density function:
```
f(x) = (1 / (σ * √(2π))) * exp(-((x - μ)^2) / (2 * σ^2))
```
Where:
* x: Random variable
* μ: Mean
* σ: Standard deviation
#### 2.1.2 Parameter Estimation Methods
The parameter estimation methods based on the normal distribution probability density function are as follows:
1. **Maximum Likelihood Estimation:**
Maximum likelihood estimation estimates parameters by maximizing the likelihood function. The likelihood function is:
```
L(μ, σ) = ∏[f(x_i)]
```
Where, x_i represents the data samples.
2. **Moment Estimation:**
Moment estimation estimates parameters by matching sample moments with theoretical moments. The sample mean and sample variance are:
```
μ_s = (1 / n) * ∑x_i
σ_s^2 = (1 / n) * ∑(x_i - μ_s)^2
```
Where, n is the sample size.
### 2.2 Fitting Based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation
#### 2.2.1 Principle of Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Maximum likelihood estimation assumes that the data samples come from a population with a specific parameter distribution. By maximizing the likelihood function, the parameter values that are most likely to produce the observed data can be found.
#### 2.2.2 Parameter Estimation Methods
Based on maximum likelihood estimation, parameter estimation methods are as follows:
1. **Log-Likelihood Function:**
To simplify calculations, the log-likelihood function is used:
```
log L(μ, σ) = -n log(σ) - (1 / (2σ^2)) * ∑(x_i - μ)^2
```
2. **Differentiate and Set to Zero:**
Differentiate μ and σ and set the results to zero to obtain the estimated parameter values:
```
μ_mle = (1 / n) * ∑x_i
σ_mle^2 = (1 / n) * ∑(x_i - μ_mle)^2
```
### 2.3 Fitting Based on Least Squares Method
#### 2.3.1 Principle of Least Squares Method
The least squares method estimates parameters by minimizing the sum of the squared errors between the fitted curve and the data points.
#### 2.3.2 Parameter Estimation Methods
Based on the least squares method, parameter estimation methods are as follows:
1. **Error Function:**
The error function is:
```
E(μ, σ) = ∑(y_i - f(x_i))^2
```
Where, y_i are the observed values, and f(x_i) are the fitted curve values.
2. **Differentiate and Set to Zero:**
Differentiate μ and σ and set the results to zero to obtain the estimated parameter values:
```
μ_ls = (∑x_i * y_i) / ∑x_i^2
σ_ls^2 = (∑y_i^2 - μ_ls * ∑y_i) / (n - 1)
```
