I have been searching for information on a more precise calculation of time decay but have found very little resources.

I'd suggest reading about the Black-Scholes model, and the formula behind it.

Take a look at this web page.. bradley.edu. FYI, a standard normal distribution is a gaussian, i.e. (2Pi(S^2))^-1 * exp[(-(x-m)^2)/(2*S^2))], where S is your standard deviation, and m is your mean. Easy to punch it into excel and start modelling option curves.
