Earth Engine is introducing
noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by
April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on
April 27, 2026.

Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
On an element-wise basis, computes the complementary error function of the input.
| Usage | Returns | Array.erfc() | Array |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: input | Array | The input array. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
print(ee.Array([-6]).erfc()); // [2]
print(ee.Array([0]).erfc()); // [1]
print(ee.Array([28]).erfc()); // [0]
var start = -3;
var end = 3;
var points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, null, 50));
var values = points.erfc();
// Plot erfc() defined above.
var chart = ui.Chart.array.values(values, 0, points)
.setOptions({
viewWindow: {min: start, max: end},
hAxis: {
title: 'x',
viewWindowMode: 'maximized',
ticks: [
{v: start},
{v: 0},
{v: end}]
},
vAxis: {
title: 'erfc(x)',
ticks: [
{v: 0},
{v: 1},
{v: 2}]
},
lineWidth: 1,
pointSize: 0,
});
print(chart);
Python setup

Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.

import geemap.core as geemap
Colab (Python)
import altair as alt
import pandas as pd
display(ee.Array([-6]).erfc()) # [2]
display(ee.Array([0]).erfc()) # [1]
display(ee.Array([28]).erfc()) # [0]
start = -3
end = 3
points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, None, 50))
values = points.erfc()
df = pd.DataFrame({'x': points.getInfo(), 'erfc(x)': values.getInfo()})
# Plot erfc() defined above.
alt.Chart(df).mark_line().encode(

[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The `erfc()` method computes the complementary error function for each element in an input array. It's applied using `Array.erfc()` and returns a new array. Input values of -6, 0, and 28 yield results of 2, 1, and 0 respectively. The examples demonstrate creating a sequence of values, applying `erfc()`, and then plotting the resulting function graphically in both JavaScript and Python.\n"]]
