gaussianRing(...,sVariableName=>...) -- symbol used for indeterminates in a ring of Gaussian joint probability distributions

Usage:

gaussianRing(G,sVariableName=>t)
Inputs:
- t, a Symbol or a String

Description

The option gaussianRing(G,sVariableName=>t) changes the symbol used for intedeterminates in the covariance matrix in a polynomial ring created with gaussianRing.
