## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var erfcinv = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/erfcinv' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### erfcinv( x )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Evaluates the [inverse complementary error function][erfcinv].
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var y = erfcinv( 0.5 );
|
||
|
// returns ~0.4769
|
||
|
|
||
|
y = erfcinv( 0.8 );
|
||
|
// returns ~0.1791
|
||
|
|
||
|
y = erfcinv( 0.0 );
|
||
|
// returns Infinity
|
||
|
|
||
|
y = erfcinv( 2.0 );
|
||
|
// returns -Infinity
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The domain of `x` is restricted to `[0,2]`. If `x` is outside this interval, the function returns `NaN`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var y = erfcinv( -3.14 );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If provided `NaN`, the function returns `NaN`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var y = erfcinv( NaN );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
```

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

|
|
||
|
var x = linspace( 0.0, 2.0, 100 );
|
||
|
var y;

|
var i;
|
||
|
|
||
|
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
