Best rational approximants for π (green circle), e (blue diamond), ϕ (pink oblong), (√3)/2 (grey hexagon), 1/√2 (red octagon) and 1/√3 (orange triangle) calculated from their continued fraction expansions, plotted as slopes y/x with errors from their true values (black dashes)
where p = 0.3275911, a 1 = 0.254829592, a 2 = −0.284496736, a 3 = 1.421413741, a 4 = −1.453152027, a 5 = 1.061405429 All of these approximations are valid for x ≥ 0 . To use these approximations for negative x , use the fact that erf x is an odd function, so erf x = −erf(− x ) .
On the other hand, a negative correlation will further increase the variance of the difference, compared to the uncorrelated case. For example, the self-subtraction f = A − A has zero variance σ f 2 = 0 {\displaystyle \sigma _{f}^{2}=0} only if the variate is perfectly autocorrelated ( ρ A = 1 {\displaystyle \rho _{A}=1} ).

Since this is a biased estimate of the variance of the unobserved errors, the bias is removed by dividing the sum of the squared residuals by df = n − p − 1, instead of n, where df is the number of degrees of freedom (n minus the number of parameters (excluding the intercept) p being estimated - 1). This forms an unbiased estimate of the ...
Condition numbers can also be defined for nonlinear functions, and can be computed using calculus.The condition number varies with the point; in some cases one can use the maximum (or supremum) condition number over the domain of the function or domain of the question as an overall condition number, while in other cases the condition number at a particular point is of more interest.
