The fuss was about the ability to compute the partition function for
the
exponential family. It has closed form values for some members of
the
family such as the normal.
It would be nice to know whether the Gauss-Hermite implementation
recently
added proves useful for that purpose; and if so, whether it could be
added
as a non-trivial example in the user guide.
We already know one, don't we?
[Hint: the plots in
https://issues.apache.org/**jira/browse/MATH-995<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-995>
I mean that this function could serve as a validation test and
benchmark (since we know that the answer is 1).]
How do you propose to do the test without a change of variables?
The test would consist in assessing how different adaptive strategies
perform
when integrating the transformed Gaussian over [-1, 1].
