The Hann function, named after the Austrian meteorologist Julius von Hann, is a discrete probability mass function given by

w(n)= 0.5\; \left(1 - \cos \left ( \frac{2 \pi n}{N-1} \right) \right)

[edit] Name

Hann function is the original name, in honour of von Hann; however, the common mistake 'Hanning' function has become equally acceptable[citation needed]. The confusion arose from the similar Hamming function, named after Richard Hamming.
