Class Erfc


  • public final class Erfc
    extends Object
    Complementary error function.

    \[ \begin{aligned} \operatorname{erfc}(z) &= 1 - \operatorname{erf}(z) \\ &= \frac{2}{\sqrt\pi}\int_z^{\infty} e^{-t^2}\,dt \end{aligned} \]

    • Method Detail

      • value

        public static double value​(double x)
        Returns the complementary error function.

        The value returned is always between 0 and 2 (inclusive). The appropriate extreme is returned when erfc(x) is indistinguishable from either 0 or 2 at double precision.

        Special cases:

        • If the argument is 0, then the result is 1.
        • If the argument is > 28, then the result is 0.
        • If the argument is < 6, then the result is 2.
        • If the argument is nan, then the result is nan.
        Parameters:
        x - Value.
        Returns:
        the complementary error function.
