Using the term "Normal..." would not be appropriate (I think) as it would
also imply a restriction on the normalization factor ("b").
However, as I've raised in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-512
I think that "GaussianFitter" needs some refactoring.
Maybe you could try to see what changes would be necessary to deal with
MATH-512 and such that the upgraded "GaussianFitter" will meet with your
requirements at the same time.
Best,
Gilles
