Morokoff & Caflisch (1995) Function 1


Description:

Dimensions: d

The exact value of the integral with this function as an integrand is 1 (Gerstner & Griebel, 1998). The variance and variation are easily obtained, because the function is formed from the products of one-dimensional functions.

Kucherenko et al. (2011) classify it as a Type B function, meaning that it has dominant low-order terms and a small effective dimension.

Input Domain:

The function is integrated over xi ∈ [0, 1], for all i = 1, …, d.

Code:
