erfinv
erfinv(x)
Compute the inverse error function of a real x,
defined by $\operatorname{erf}(\operatorname{erfinv}(x)) = x$.
Examples
-
Compute the inverse error function:
julia> erfinv(0.5) 0.47693627620446995This example computes the inverse error function of
0.5using theerfinvfunction. -
Inverse error function of a negative value:
julia> erfinv(-0.2) -0.17914345462129104It calculates the inverse error function of
-0.2. - Compute the inverse error function of an array:
julia> x = [-0.5, 0.3, 0.8]; julia> erfinv.(x) 3-element Array{Float64,1}: -0.47693627620446995 0.2724627147267544 0.9061938024368232This example uses broadcasting to compute the inverse error function for each element in the array
x.
Common mistake example:
julia> erfinv("abc")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching erfinv(::String)In this example, the input to erfinv is not a valid argument. The erfinv function expects a real number as input, not a string. Make sure to provide a valid input to the erfinv function for correct results.
