ndtr
Normal distribution function.SYNOPSIS:
double x, y, ndtr();
y = ndtr(x);
DESCRIPTION:
Returns the area under the Gaussian probability density function, integrated from minus infinity to x:
x
-
1 | | 2
ndtr(x) = --------- | exp(- t /2) dt
sqrt(2pi) | |
-
-inf.
= (1 + erf(z)) / 2
= erfc(z) / 2
where z = x/sqrt(2).
Computation is via the functions erf and erfc, with care to avoid error amplification in computing exp(-x^2).
