public class NormalEstimateExperiment
extends EstimateExperiment
implements java.io.Serializable

This class models the point estimation problem associated with the normal distribution. A sample of a specified size from the normal distribution is simulated. Point estimates of the mean and standard deviation are computed, along with the empirical bias and mean square error.
