Exponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
متن کاملNumerical Computation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities
The numerical computation of a multivariate normal probability is often a diicult problem. This article describes a transformation that simpliies the problem and places it into a form that allows eecient calculation using standard numerical multiple integration algorithms. Test results are presented that compare implementations of two algorithms that use the transformation, with currently avail...
متن کاملParallel Computation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities
We present methods for the computation of multivari-ate normal probabilities on parallel/ distributed systems. After a transformation of the initial integral, an approximation can be obtained using Monte-Carlo or quasi-random methods. We propose a meta-algorithm for asynchronous sampling methods and derive eecient parallel algorithms for the computation of MVN distribution functions, including ...
متن کاملAlternative Sampling Methods for Estimating Multivariate Normal Probabilities
We study the performance of alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities through the GHK simulator. The sampling methods are randomized versions of some quasi-Monte Carlo samples (Halton, Niederreiter, Niederreiter-Xing sequences and lattice points) and some samples based on orthogonal arrays (Latin hypercube, orthogonal array and orthogonal array based Latin hy...
متن کاملComputing Multivariate Normal Probabilities Using Rank-1 Lattice Sequences ?
Multivariate normal probabilities, which are used for statistical inference, must be computed numerically. This article describes a new rank-1 lattice quadrature rule and its application to computing multivariate normal probabilities. In contrast to existing lattice rules the number of integrand evaluations need not be speciied in advance. When compared to existing algorithms for computing mult...
