All,
I announced removal of things like Gaussian and Table for the exact
reasons that Danil stated. I did this *many many* moons ago. *Why did
no one object at that time?* All decisions that have been made can
always be reviewed, but we also need to be practical about it.

Radek,
I believe that since "gausian" keyword was not very clearly defined
in the specs, and no developers so far have used it in their AMI files
(correct me if I am wrong), the best solution is to remove it from the
specs for now. The simpler the spec is, the easier it is for everybody
to support it.
Best,
Danil

Walter,
I do not think we can "remove" Gaussian from the specification. It is
already there.
As a matter of fact we should try to clarify issues like this one,
wherever there is a possibility for misinterpretation.
For Fangyi's question I think the logically correct answer should be
the second one:
(PDF 0.0 0.01)
It follows the concept of (/leaf_name value/) where "value" in this
case consists of two numbers.

Fangyi,
One of the reasons why I have proposed removing Gaussian as a type in
the new BIRD.

Hi, Experts;
If an AMI model has a parameter (PDF (Format Gaussian 0.0 0.01)), what
should the Init input parameter string be? Should it be
(PDF Gaussian 0.0 0.01)
or
(PDF 0.0 0.01)
or other format?
Thanks in advance,
Fangyi
