Log-likelihood for Gaussian Distribution
----------------------------------------
Figure5.4
An illustration of the logarithm of the posterior probability density
function for :math:`\mu` and :math:`\sigma`, :math:`L_p(\mu,\sigma)`
(see eq. 5.58) for data drawn from a Gaussian distribution and N = 10, x = 1,
and V = 4. The maximum of :math:`L_p` is renormalized to 0, and color coded as
shown in the legend. The maximum value of :math:`L_p` is at :math:`\mu_0 = 1.0`
and :math:`\sigma_0 = 1.8`. The contours enclose the regions that contain
0.683, 0.955, and 0.997 of the cumulative (integrated) posterior probability.
