maxframe.tensor.special.erf#

maxframe.tensor.special.erf(x, out=None, where=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Returns the error function of complex argument.

It is defined as 2/sqrt(pi)*integral(exp(-t**2), t=0..z).

Parameters:: x (Tensor) – Input tensor.
Returns:: res – The values of the error function at the given points x.
Return type:: Tensor

Notes

The cumulative of the unit normal distribution is given by Phi(z) = 1/2[1 + erf(z/sqrt(2))].
