Detailed Description

A class to compute the Error function (erf)

See for example http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Erf.html. Most of the code comes from "erf.cpp" by Steve Strand (29-Jan-04).

Member Function Documentation

erf()

double ErrorFunction::erf ( double  x )

static

Computes erf(x)

erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral(exp(-t^2),t,0,x) = 2/sqrt(pi)*[x - x^3/3 + x^5/5*2! - x^7/7*3! + ...] = 1-erfc(x)

Parameters

x	a real variable

Returns

erf(x)

erfc()

double ErrorFunction::erfc ( double  x )

static

Computes erfc(x)

erfc(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral(exp(-t^2),t,x,inf) = exp(-x^2)/sqrt(pi) * [1/x+ (1/2)/x+ (2/2)/x+ (3/2)/x+ (4/2)/x+ ...] = 1-erf(x) (expression inside [] is a continued fraction so '+' means add to denominator only).

Parameters

x	a real variable

Returns

erfc(x)
