Roos & Arnold (1963) Function


Description:

Dimensions: d

This function occurs as an integrand multiple times in the literature. The exact value of the integral with this function as an integrand is 1. 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 C function, meaning that it has dominant high-order interaction terms and a high effective dimension.

Input Domain:

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

Code:
