Gaussian error function

The errorFunction(x/(sd * Math.sqrt(2))) is the probability that a value in a normal distribution with standard deviation sd is within x of the mean.

This function returns a numerical approximation to the exact value. It uses Horner’s method to evaluate the polynomial of τ (tau).
