\[ \mbox{Phi\_approx}(x) = \begin{cases} \Phi_{\mbox{\footnotesize approx}}(x) & \mbox{if } -\infty\leq x\leq \infty \\[6pt] \textrm{NaN} & \mbox{if } x = \textrm{NaN} \end{cases} \]

\[ \frac{\partial\, \mbox{Phi\_approx}(x)}{\partial x} = \begin{cases} \frac{\partial\, \Phi_{\mbox{\footnotesize approx}}(x)}{\partial x} & \mbox{if } -\infty\leq x\leq \infty \\[6pt] \textrm{NaN} & \mbox{if } x = \textrm{NaN} \end{cases} \]

\[ \Phi_{\mbox{\footnotesize approx}}(x) = \mbox{logit}^{-1}(0.07056 \, x^3 + 1.5976 \, x) \]

\[ \frac{\partial \, \Phi_{\mbox{\footnotesize approx}}(x)}{\partial x} = -\Phi_{\mbox{\footnotesize approx}}^2(x) e^{-0.07056x^3 - 1.5976x}(-0.21168x^2-1.5976) \]

Parameters

a	Variable argument.

Returns

The corresponding unit normal cdf approximation.
