erf(x, mode=0, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
erfc(x, mode=0, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
log_erfc(x, mode=0, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
erf_Q(x, mode=0, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hazard(x, mode=0, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)

Arguments

x

input: real values

give

Boolean with TRUE meaning to return a list of three items: the value, an estimate of the error, and a status number

mode

input: mode. For GSL_PREC_DOUBLE , GSL_PREC_SINGLE, GSL_PREC_APPROX use 0,1,2 respectively
