The Erfc function computes the complementary error function values for elements of the input vector a and writes them to the output vector y.
The complementary error function is defined as follows:

Useful relations:


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.
