erf(), erfc(), normcdf() and friends in SKILL

By any chance has anyone implemented the error function and complementary error function in SKILL?  I can use IPC to have octave (or other) do it behind the scenes but was wondering if there is an already complete pure-skill version.

Thanks

    Hi Dan,

    Please contact customer support. There's an implementation in CCR 1489649 (which I think would be OK to share with you, but I don't think I should post it here). My recommendation was to wrap an existing built-in implementation which currently a private function, but that hasn't happened yet - another request would increase the likelihood of it happening sooner rather than later.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

    I got a skill implementation from customer support.  The complementary ones need some work ("f(x) = 1 - something_really_close_to_1" is never a good plan numerically) but I can probably use numerical recipes to find out the right way for that part.
