Hello,
I am searching for a method to calculate a normal distribution.
For example this equation is used to calculate the normal curve when the
mean and standard deviation are know.
p(x) = (1/σ*sqrt(2π)) x exp (- (x-μ)2/2σ2)
or

Formula
However, some of the literature I'm reading (I'm building an ecological
niche model for vegetation along several ecological gradients) report the
standard error instead and n sample size. Is there an equivalent formula ?
If so, how can I also normalize the p(x) term to be within the 0-1 range?
Thank you all
Steve
