[Numpy-discussion] Numeric integration of higher order integrals

2011-06-01 Thread Mario Bettenbuehl
Hello everyone, I am currently tackling the issue to numerically solve an integral of higher dimensions numerically. I am comparing models and their dimension increase with 2^n order. Taking a closer look to its projections along the axes, down to a two dimensions picture, the projections are

When the dimensionality gets high, grid methods like you're describing start to be a problem (the curse of dimensionality). The standard approaches are simple Monte Carlo integration or its refinements (Metropolis-Hasings, for example). These converge somewhat slowly, but are not much affected by
