+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var pdf = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/halfnormal/pdf' );
+```
+
+#### pdf( x, sigma )
+
+Evaluates the [probability density function][pdf] (PDF) for a [half-normal][halfnormal-distribution] distribution with parameter `sigma` (scale parameter).
+
+```javascript
+var y = pdf( 2.0, 1.0 );
+// returns ~0.108
+
+y = pdf( 1.0, 4.0 );
+// returns ~0.193
+```
+
+If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.
+
+```javascript
+var y = pdf( NaN, 1.0 );
+// returns NaN
+
+y = pdf( 0.0, NaN );
+// returns NaN
+```
+
+If provided `sigma <= 0`, the function returns `NaN`.
+
+```javascript
+var y = pdf( 2.0, -1.0 );
+// returns NaN
+
+y = pdf( 2.0, 0.0 );
+// returns NaN
+```
+
+If provided a negative value for `x`, the function returns `0.0`.
+
+```javascript
+var y = pdf( -1.0, 1.0 );
+// returns 0.0
+```
+
+#### pdf.factory( sigma )
+
+Returns a function for evaluating the [probability density function][pdf] (PDF) of a [half-normal][halfnormal-distribution] distribution with parameter `sigma` (scale parameter).
+
+```javascript
+var mypdf = pdf.factory( 2.0 );
+
+var y = mypdf( 3.0 );
+// returns ~0.130
+
+y = mypdf( 1.0 );
+// returns ~0.352

+### Usage
+
+```c
+#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/halfnormal/pdf.h"
+```
+
+#### stdlib_base_dists_halfnormal_pdf( x, sigma )
+
+Evaluates the [probability density function][pdf] (PDF) for a [half-normal][halfnormal-distribution] distribution with parameter `sigma` (scale parameter).
+
+```c
+double y = stdlib_base_dists_halfnormal_pdf( 2.0, 1.0 );
+// returns ~0.108
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **x**: `[in] double` input value.
+-   **sigma**: `[in] double` scale parameter.
+
+```c
+double stdlib_base_dists_halfnormal_pdf( const double x, const double sigma );
