Description
The Erf function computes the error function values for elements of the input vector a and writes them to the output vector y.
The error function is defined as given by:
Useful relations:
where erfc is the complementary error function.
where
is the cumulative normal distribution function.
where Φ-1(x) and erf-1(x) are the inverses to Φ(x) and erf(x) respectively.
The following figure illustrates the relationships among Erf family functions (Erf, Erfc, CdfNorm).
