[scilab-Users] Stixbox dnorm function - formula error?

[Michaël Baudin]

  Thank you for your feedback. You are right: there was a lack of 
feedback in the demo. I have improved the script, see the new version at :

http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/stixbox/source/tree/master/demos/stixdemo.dem.sce

There were many comments, which are now displayed in the console. More 
results are also displayed.

I will release the improved version ASAP on ATOMS.

Best regards,

Michaël
