ee.Array.erf

  • The Array.erf() method computes the error function of each element in the input array.

  • This method takes an Array as input and returns an Array as output.

  • Examples are provided in both JavaScript and Python, demonstrating how to use the erf() method and visualize the results.

 On an element-wise basis, computes the error function of the input.

UsageReturns
Array.erf()Array
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: inputArrayThe input array.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

print(ee.Array([-6]).erf());  // [-1]
print(ee.Array([0]).erf());  // [0]
print(ee.Array([6]).erf());  // [1]

var start = -3;
var end = 3;
var points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, null, 50));
var values = points.erf();

// Plot erf() defined above.
var chart = ui.Chart.array.values(values, 0, points)
    .setOptions({
      viewWindow: {min: start, max: end},
      hAxis: {
        title: 'x',
        viewWindowMode: 'maximized',
        ticks: [
          {v: start},
          {v: 0},
          {v: end}]
      },
      vAxis: {
        title: 'erf(x)',
        ticks: [
