_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The parameter of a normal distribution, used by Norm-class

     Objects can be created by calls of the form 'new("NormParameter",
     sd, mean)'. Usually an object of this class is not needed on its
     own. It is the mother-class of the class UniNormParameter, which
     is generated automatically when such a distribution is
     instantiated.

_S_l_o_t_s:

     '_s_d': Object of class '"numeric"': the sd of a normal distribution 

     '_m_e_a_n': Object of class '"numeric"': the mean of a normal
          distribution 

     '_n_a_m_e': Object of class '"character"': a name / comment for the
          parameters 

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class '"Parameter"', directly.

          method

          of the parameter of the distribution

          mean of the parameter of the distribution

          of the parameter of the distribution
