Abstract :
In a recent letter, Karagiannidis and Lioumpas (see ibid., vol.11, no.8, p.644-6, Aug. 2007) proposed a new approximation for the Gaussian Q-function. We provide corrections to two equations, corrected entries to a table, and an alternative to a figure in the letter, as well as a few comments.
