the "error function" encountered in integrating the normal distribution (which is a normalized form of the Gaussian function). It is an entire function defined by (1) Note that

some authors (e.g., Whittaker and Watson 1990, p.341) define without the leading factor of . Erf is implemented in the Wolfram Language as Erf[z]. A two-argument form giving is also implemented as Erf[z0, z1]. Erf satisfies the identities (2) (3) (4) where is erfc, the complementary error function, and is a confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind. derivative complementary error function For , (5) where is the incomplete gamma function. Erf can also be defined as a Maclaurin series (6) (7) (OEIS A007680). Similarly, (8) (OEIS A103979 and A103980). For , may be computed from (9) (10) (OEIS A000079 and A001147; Acton 1990). For , (11) (12) Using integration by parts gives (13) (14) (15) (16) so (17) and continuing the procedure gives the asymptotic series (18) (19) (20) (OEIS A001147 and A000079). Erf has the values (21) (22) It is an odd function (23) and satisfies (24) Erf may be expressed in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind as (25) (26) Its derivative is (27) where is a Hermite polynomial. The first derivative is (28) and the integral is (29) Min Max Re Im Erf can also be extended to the complex plane, as illustrated above. A simple integral involving erf that Wolfram Language cannot do is given by (30) (M.R.D'Orsogna, pers. comm., May 9, 2004). More complicated integrals include (31) (M.R.D'Orsogna, pers. comm., Dec.15, 2005

All you have to do for your examples is use the chain rule. –almagest Apr 23 at 7:58 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote You have error in your definition of error function :-). The definition of error function is $$\operatorname{erf}(x) = \frac{2}{\sqrt\pi}\int_0^x e^{-t^2}\,\mathrm dt = \int_0^x \frac{2}{\sqrt\pi}e^{-t^2}\,\mathrm dt.$$ Derivative of this integral with variable is it's integrand applied to upper boundary and multiplicated by boundary's derivative. ($\frac{\partial x}{\partial x}=1$) $$\frac{\partial \operatorname{erf}(x) }{\partial x}=1\cdot\frac{2}{\sqrt\pi}e^{-x^2}$$ The next step is calculating derivative of a composite function. I hope
