Pre-integration is an extension of conditional Monte Carlo to quasi-Monte Carlo and randomized quasi-Monte Carlo. It can reduce but not increase the variance in Monte Carlo. For quasi-Monte Carlo it can bring about improved regularity of…

Quasi-Monte Carlo cubature methods often sample the integrand using Sobol' (or other digital) sequences to obtain higher accuracy than IID sampling. An important question is how to conservatively estimate the error of a digital sequence…

The classical approaches to numerically integrating a function $f$ are Monte Carlo (MC) and quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. MC methods use random samples to evaluate $f$ and have error $O(\sigma(f)/\sqrt{n})$, where $\sigma(f)$ is the…
