Monte Carlo Computation of Some Multivariate Normal Probabilities.
Abstract
The computation of orthant probabilities represents a difficult numerical problem for even modest dimensions. Moran (1984) proposed a Monte Carlo estimator of these quantities. In this paper a more general class of estimators is developed and methods for obtaining efficiency gains over Moran's procedure are discussed. Further, the authors discuss the Monte Carlo evaluation of the multivariate normal distribution function.
