##### Notes

This function has many methods. I try to describe them here.

`n` or `mu` can be a vector or a scalar. If just one is a scalar the other is
repeated to match the length of the other. If both are scalars, then the number
of repeats is inferred from `sig2`.

`sig2` can be a matrix, vector or scalar. If it is a matrix, it is treated as
the covariance matrix. If it is a vector, it is considered the diagonal of a
diagonal covariance matrix. If it is a scalar it is repeated along the diagonal
as many times as necessary, where the number of repeats is determined by the
length of either n and/or mu (which ever is a vector).

If all 3 are scalars, then 1d nodes are computed. `mu` and `sig2` are treated as
the mean and variance of a 1d normal distribution
