> Update the Erf function to use the Boost rational function approximtion
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: NUMBERS-172
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUMBERS-172
> Project: Commons Numbers
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: gamma
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Alex Herbert
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The error function (erf) and complementary error function (erfc) are
> implemented using the continued fraction evaluation performed in the
> regularized gamma P and Q implementation. This is a generic function called
> with a fixed argument of 0.5:
> {noformat}
> erf(x) = gammap(0.5, x*x)
> erfc(x) = gammaq(0.5, x*x)
> {noformat}
> These functions have an implementation in the Boost c++ library using a
> rational function approximation.
> NUMBERS-171 ported the inverse erf functions from Boost with an improvement
> in accuracy and speed. Investigate the use of the corresponding forward erf
> and erfc functions from Boost as replacements for the use of the regularized
> gamma function to evaluate the error function.
