Bits error versus x

Bits error versus y

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if x < -0.006405611461797859 or 0.0071749194288586735 < x

    1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1\]
    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{2}{\color{blue}{e^{-2 \cdot x} + 1}} - 1\]

    if -0.006405611461797859 < x < 0.0071749194288586735

    1. Initial program 59.0

      \[\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1\]
    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x + \frac{2}{15} \cdot {x}^{5}\right) - \frac{1}{3} \cdot {x}^{3}}\]
    3. Simplified0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left({x}^{5} \cdot \frac{2}{15} + x \cdot \left(\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \frac{-1}{3}\right)\right) + x}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification0.0

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -0.006405611461797859:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \le 0.0071749194288586735:\\ \;\;\;\;x + \left(x \cdot \left(\frac{-1}{3} \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)\right) + \frac{2}{15} \cdot {x}^{5}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1\\ \end{array}\]
