4: 3.5 Quadrature
§3.5 Quadrature
For integrals in higher dimensions, Monte Carlo methods are another—often the only—alternative. The standard Monte Carlo method samples points uniformly from the integration region to estimate the integral and its error. In more advanced methods points are sampled from a probability distribution, so that they are concentrated in regions that make the largest contribution to the integral. With N function values, the Monte Carlo method aims at an error of order 1 / N , independently of the dimension of the domain of integration. …
