[R] Error from using adaptIntegrate within a function that is then integrated

2012-05-23 Thread Helen Broome
I want to measure the error in the estimation of a 2 dimensional density function that is calculated using an integral but run into problems trying to integrate with adaptIntegrate because the integrand also calls the function adaptIntegrate. In particular I want \int \hat{f}(x,y) - f(x,y) dx dy

[R] Erratic error with adaptIntegrate in cubature package

2012-05-21 Thread Helen Broome
Hi everyone, I have been using adaptIntegrate from the cubature package for a multidimensional integral that has infinite variance (and so not appropriate for Monte Carlo techniques). Most of the time it works but sometimes (though not always) when I slightly increase the accuracy I want, or incre
