Computes the inverse complementary error function of the input.
| Usage | Returns | Number.erfcInv() | Number |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: input | Number | The input value. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
print('Inverse complementary error function of 0',
ee.Number(0).erfcInv()); // Infinity
print('Inverse complementary error function of 0.001',
ee.Number(0.001).erfcInv()); // 2.326753765
print('Inverse complementary error function of 1',
ee.Number(1).erfcInv()); // 0
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
Colab (Python)
print('Inverse complementary error function of 0:',
ee.Number(0).erfcInv().getInfo()) # Infinity
print('Inverse complementary error function of 0.001:',
ee.Number(0.001).erfcInv().getInfo()) # 2.326753765
print('Inverse complementary error function of 1:',
ee.Number(1).erfcInv().getInfo()) # 0
