Specifically I am using the cumulative Gaussian function (erf(x)) in a speaker recognition system and the power series method is very time consuming so I would like to speed things up with an efficient table look-up procedure. Thanks in advance for your help. Doug Reynolds Georgia Tech DSP dar@gauss.eedsp.gatech.edu -- Doug Reynolds [GRA M.
