statistics: y = raylpdf (x, sigma)

Rayleigh probability density function (PDF).

For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) at x of the Rayleigh distribution with parameter sigma. The size of p is the common size of x and sigma. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

Default value is sigma = 1.
