Efficient computations of multivariate normal distributions with applications to finance
Lai Y.  Modelling and simulation (Proceedings of the 17th IASTED International Conference on Modelling and Simulation, Montreal, Canada, May 24-26, 2006)522-527.2006.Type:Proceedings
Date Reviewed: Dec 6 2006

Lai presents a significant simulation of multivariate normal distribution. All of the bivariate distributions can be converted into one-dimensional integrals, and most cases of the trivariate normal distributions can be converted into one-dimensional integrals if the correlation coefficients ρij = &lgr;i &lgr;j, | &lgr;i | < 1, i = 1, 2, 3. For other problems, the author employs Genz’s transformation to develop Monte Carlo or quasi-Monte Carlo methods to estimate these distributions. The author applies this method to the case of discrete partial barrier options with a moving barrier. This novel technique can be useful in the application of weighted good lattice points rules to high-dimensional problems.
