Visualize exponential power functions

Description

Visualize exponential power functions, including a Gaussian distribution.

Usage

see.exppower.tck()

Details

The normal distribution and Gaussian distribution are based on an exponential power function:

f(x)=exp(-|x|^{m})

Letting m = 2 results in a Gaussian distribution. Standardizing this so that the area under the curve = 1 results in the standard normal distribution.
