   .. rubric:: Description
      :class: sectiontitle


   The cdfnorm function computes the cumulative normal distribution
   function values for elements of the input vector ``a`` and writes
   them to the output vector ``y``.


   The cumulative normal distribution function is defined as given by:

   .. math::
      \operatorname{cdfnorm}(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{x} e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}
      \operatorname{d \!} x

   Useful relations for these functions:

   .. math::
      \operatorname{erf}(x) + \operatorname{erfc}(x) = 1


   .. math::
      \operatorname{cdfnorm}(x) &= \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 + \operatorname{erf}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \right) \\
                  &= 1 - \frac{1}{2} \operatorname{erfc}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right)


   where :math:`\operatorname{erf}` and :math:`\operatorname{erfc}` are the error and complementary error
   functions, respectively.

   The following figure illustrates the relationships among the family of error
   functions (erf, erfc, cdfnorm).

   n
      Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.


   a
      The buffer ``a`` containing input vector of size ``n``.


   mode
      Overrides the global VM mode setting for this function call. See
      :ref:`onemath_vm_setmode`
      function for possible values and their description. This is an
      optional parameter. The default value is ``oneapi::math::vm::mode::not_defined``.


   errhandler
