ADVANCED METHODS

  • ADAPTIVE MC METHODS
  • All previous techniques require knowledge of the behaviour of f, in many cases this is not available
  • VEGAS: combines importance + stratified sampling into an
  • iterative algorithm, automatically concentrates evaluations of the
  • integrant where it is largest
  • exploratory phase: find optimal grid
  • final calculation: integral evaluated with high-precision
