NormalReliabilityFunction (jreliability v2.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.jreliability.function.SequentialFunction
- - org.jreliability.function.common.NormalReliabilityFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Function, ReliabilityFunction
```
public class NormalReliabilityFunction
extends SequentialFunction
implements ReliabilityFunction
```
The NormalReliabilityFunction represents the normal ReliabilityFunction
R(x) = 1 - F(x) = 0.5 - 0.5 * (x - mu) / (rho * Math.sqrt(2))
with mu => 0, rho > 0.
The rho and mu parameters represent the standard deviation and mean of the variable's natural logarithm.
