erf {NORMT3} | R Documentation |
Computes the error function of a (possibly) complex valued argument. This function is 1-erfc(z).
erf(z)

Argument of error function |
Computes the error function of a (possibly) complex valued argument by computing the complementary error function and subtracting the answer from 1.
