erfinv
The inverse error function is defined in terms of the Maclaurin series
where c_0 = 1
and
Installation
$ npm install compute-erfinv

Usage
var erfinv = ;
erfinv( x[, options] )
Evaluates the inverse error function. x
may be either a number
, an array
, a typed array
, or a matrix
. All numeric values must reside on the interval [-1,1]
.
var matrix =datamatouti;out = ;// returns ~0.47694out = ;// returns [ 0, 0.17914, 0.47694, 0.90619, +infinity ]data = 0 05 1 ;out = ;// returns [ 0, 0.47694, +infinity ]data = data ;out = ;// returns Float64Array( [ 0, 0.47694, +infinity ] )data = 4 ;for i = 0; i < 4; i++data i = i / 2;mat = ;/*[ 0 0.250.5 0.75 ]*/out = ;/*[ 0 ~0.2253~0.4769 ~0.8134 ]*/
The function accepts the following options
:
- accessor: accessor
function
for accessingarray
values. - dtype: output
typed array
ormatrix
data type. Default:float64
. - copy:
boolean
indicating if thefunction
should return a new data structure. Default:true
. - path: deepget/deepset key path.
- sep: deepget/deepset key path separator. Default:
'.'
.
For non-numeric arrays
, provide an accessor function
for accessing array
values.
var data ='beep' 0'boop' 02'bip' 05'bap' 08'baz' 1;{return d 1 ;}var out =;// returns [ 0, 0.17914, 0.47694, 0.90619, +infinity ]
To deepset an object array
, provide a key path and, optionally, a key path separator.
var data ='x':00'x':1025'x':205'x':3075'x':41;var out = ;/*[{'x':[0,0]},{'x':[1,0.2253]},{'x':[2,0.4769]},{'x':[3,0.8134]},{'x':[4,+infinity]}]*/var bool = data === out ;// returns true
By default, when provided a typed array
or matrix
, the output data structure is float64
in order to preserve precision. To specify a different data type, set the dtype
option (see matrix
for a list of acceptable data types).
var data out;data = 0 025 05 ;out =;// returns Int32Array( [0,0,0] )// Works for plain arrays, as well...out =;// returns Uint8Array( [0,0,0] )
By default, the function returns a new data structure. To mutate the input data structure (e.g., when input values can be discarded or when optimizing memory usage), set the copy
option to false
.
var databoolmatouti;var data = 0 02 05 08 1 ;var out =;// returns [ 0, 0.17914, 0.47694, 0.90619, +infinity ]bool = data === out ;// returns truedata = 4 ;for i = 0; i < 4; i++data i = i / 4;mat = ;/*[ 0 0.250.5 0.75 ]*/out =;/*[ 0 ~0.2253~0.4769 ~0.8134 ]*/bool = mat === out ;// returns true
Notes
-
If an element is not a numeric value, the evaluated inverse error function is
NaN
.var data out;out = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns [ NaN, NaN, NaN ]{return dx;}data ='x':true'x':'x':{}'x':null;out =;// returns [ NaN, NaN, NaN, NaN ]out =;/*[{'x':NaN},{'x':NaN},{'x':NaN,{'x':NaN}]*/ -
Be careful when providing a data structure which contains non-numeric elements and specifying an
integer
output data type, asNaN
values are cast to0
.var out =;// returns Int8Array( [0,0,0] );

Tests
Unit
Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
Test Coverage
This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test-cov
Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage
directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
$ make view-cov
