Description
The ErfInv function computes the inverse error function values for elements of the input vector a and writes them to the output vector y
y = erf-1(a),
where erf(x) is the error function defined as given by: 
 
   Useful relations:

where erfc is the complementary error function.

where

is the cumulative normal distribution function.

where Φ-1(x) and erf-1(x) are the inverses to Φ(x) and erf(x) respectively.
Figure "ErfInv Family Functions Relationship" illustrates the relationships among ErfInv family functions (ErfInv, ErfcInv, CdfNormInv).
