Numerical integration of a multimodal integrand f (θ) is approached by Monte Carlo integration via importance sampling. A mixture of multivariate t density functions is suggested as an importance ...

If the region of integration is the unit cube, we obtain the same optimal orders for functions without boundary conditions. This proves, in particular, that the optimal order of convergence in the ...

Now that function-theory is fairly well developed, it is much easier than it used to be to discuss in an orderly way the elementary problems of explicit integration. By showing how this can be ...

The management of a software project such as an information system requires control of each activity so that the implementation of the project is always controlled. One of the parameters in software ...
