Description

y

float* for vsErfInv, vmsErfInv

double* for vdErfInv, vmdErfInv

Pointer to an array that contains the output vector y.

Description

The ErfInv function computes the inverse error function values for elements of the input vector a and writes them to the output vector y

y = erf-1(a),

where erf(x) is the error function defined as given by:

Equation

Useful relations:

Equation

where erfc is the complementary error function.

Equation

where

Equation

is the cumulative normal distribution function.

Equation

where Φ-1(x) and erf-1(x) are the inverses to Φ(x) and erf(x) respectively.

Figure "ErfInv Family Functions Relationship" illustrates the relationships among ErfInv family functions (ErfInv, ErfcInv, CdfNormInv).
