.. _continuous-foldnorm:
Folded Normal Distribution
==========================
If :math:`Z` is Normal with mean :math:`L` and :math:`\sigma=S` , then :math:`\left|Z\right|` is a folded normal with shape parameter :math:`c=\left|L\right|/S` , location parameter :math:`0` and scale parameter :math:`S` . This is a special case of the non-central chi distribution with one-
degree of freedom and non-centrality parameter :math:`c^{2}.` Note that :math:`c\geq0` . The standard form of the folded normal is

:nowrap:
\begin{eqnarray*} f\left(x;c\right) & = & \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}\cosh\left(cx\right)\exp\left(-\frac{x^{2}+c^{2}}{2}\right)\\
F\left(x;c\right) & = & \Phi\left(x-c\right)-\Phi\left(-x-c\right)=\Phi\left(x-c\right)+\Phi\left(x+c\right)-1\\
G\left(q;c\right) & = & F^{-1}\left(q;c\right)\\
M\left(t\right) & = & \exp\left(\frac{t}{2}\left(t-2c\right)\right) \left(1+e^{2ct}\right)\\
