SfunErfcInverse Method
Returns the inverse of the complementary error function.

Namespace: Imsl.Math
Assembly: ImslCS (in ImslCS.dll) Version: 6.5.2.0
Syntax
public static double ErfcInverse(
	double x
)

Parameters

x
Type: SystemDouble
A double value, 0 \le x \le 2.

Return Value

Type: Double
A double value specifying the inverse of the error function of x.
Remarks

The Erfcinverse(x) method computes the inverse of the complementary error function erfc x, defined in Erfc.

Erfcinverse(x) is defined for 0 \lt x 
            \lt 2. If x_{\max } \lt x \lt 2, then the answer will be less accurate than half precision. Very approximately,

x_{\it max} \approx 2 - \sqrt {\varepsilon / (4\pi)}

where \varepsilon = machine precision (approximately 1.11e-16).
