ERFC.PRECISE function

PRO BASIC

The ERFC.PRECISE function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro returns the complementary error function for a given number, defined as 1 − ERF(x), calculated with high precision (about 15 significant digits). It's accurate to around 15 digits, making it highly precise. This feature is particularly helpful when dealing with statistical calculations or scientific data analysis.

Documentation

The ERFC.PRECISE function returns the complementary error function of a number, which is equal to 1 minus the error function of the same number. The result is accurate to approximately 15 digits.

Syntax

ERFC.PRECISE(x)

Parameter	Description
`x`	The number for which to calculate the complementary error function.

Behavior

The ERFC.PRECISE function calculates the precise complementary ERF function integrated between a supplied lower limit and infinity. This function is primarily used in statistics and data analysis.

If provided with an empty cell, the function treats it as a zero.
Boolean values are coerced to numbers: TRUE is treated as 1 and FALSE as 0.
If the cell referenced in the function contains an error, the function will return the same error.
The function only accepts numerical input values.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error shows up when the input is non-numeric, such as text or boolean values.
#NUM!	This error may occur for extremely large magnitude inputs if the calculation overflows or cannot be represented numerically.

Best practices

Always ensure to input numerical values to avoid errors.

Be aware that the function treats empty cells as zero, so ensure to input a value in all referenced cells if zero is not the desired value.

Use the function for statistical data analysis, especially when dealing with large datasets.

Always double-check your formula for any possible typos or errors to ensure the accuracy of the calculation.

Usage

A few examples using the ERFC.PRECISE function.

ERFC.PRECISE(0) → 1  
ERFC.PRECISE(1.5) → 0.033894853524654  
ERFC.PRECISE(-1) → 1.84270079294971  
ERFC.PRECISE(TRUE) → Equivalent to ERFC.PRECISE(1) = 0.157299207050285  
ERFC.PRECISE(A2) → Calculates the complementary error function of the value in cell A2
