Thanks! This is not really numerical analysis, but it is a start and an indication that there are at least some standard implementations that work this way. What would be helpful is some general references that provide complexity and error analysis and ideally characterize the functions for which the change of variable approach is better than Gauss-Hermite, per the first recommendation in [1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
