In Response To: Re: Why? (raptor117) : Nothing in nature ever follows a Gaussian curve. I'm confused by this point. "The Gaussian or normal distributionis one of the most common distributions in nature, and it appears in all the physical, biological, and social sciences." "For example, species distributions along environmental gradients are generally considered to be Gaussian curves." Gauch, H.G. & Chase, G.B. (1974). "Fitting the Gaussian Curve to Ecological Data." Ecology, 55, 1377-1381.
