hcubature {cubature} | R Documentation

## Adaptive multivariate integration over hypercubes (hcubature and pcubature)

### Description

The function performs adaptive multidimensional integration (cubature) of (possibly) vector-valued integrands over hypercubes. The function includes a vector interface where the integrand may be evaluated at several hundred points in a single call.

### Usage

    hcubature(
      f,
      lowerLimit,
      upperLimit,
      ...,
      tol = 1e-05,
      fDim = 1,
      maxEval = 0,
      absError = 0,
      doChecking = FALSE,
      vectorInterface = FALSE,
      norm = c("INDIVIDUAL", "PAIRED", "L2", "L1", "LINF")
    )

    pcubature(
      f,
      lowerLimit,
      upperLimit,
      ...,
      tol = 1e-05,
      fDim = 1,
      maxEval = 0,
      absError = 0,
      doChecking = FALSE,
      vectorInterface = FALSE,
      norm = c("INDIVIDUAL", "PAIRED", "L2", "L1", "LINF")
    )

### Arguments

`f` | The function (integrand) to be integrated
`lowerLimit` | The lower limit of integration, a vector for hypercubes
`upperLimit` | The upper limit of integration, a vector for hypercubes
`...` | All other arguments passed to the function f
`tol` | The maximum tolerance, default 1e-5.
`fDim` | The dimension of the integrand, default 1, bears no relation to the dimension of the hypercube
`maxEval` | The maximum number of function evaluations needed, default 0 implying no limit. Note that the actual number of function evaluations performed is only approximately guaranteed not to exceed this number.
`absError` | The maximum absolute error tolerated
`doChecking` | As of version 2.0, this flag is ignored and will be dropped in forthcoming versions
`vectorInterface` | A flag that indicates whether to use the vector interface and is by default FALSE. See details below
`norm` | For vector-valued integrands, `norm` specifies the norm that is used to measure the error and determine convergence properties. See below.

### Details

The function merely calls Johnson's C code and returns the results.

One can specify a maximum number of function evaluations (default is 0 for no limit). Otherwise, the integration stops when the estimated error is less than the absolute error requested, or when the estimated error is less than tol times the integral, in absolute value, or the maximum number of iterations is reached (see parameter info below), whichever is earlier.

For compatibility with earlier versions, the `adaptIntegrate` function is an alias for the underlying `hcubature` function which uses h-adaptive integration. Otherwise, the calling conventions are the same.

We highly recommend referring to the vignette to achieve the best results!

The `hcubature` function is the h-adaptive version that recursively partitions the integration domain into smaller subdomains, applying the same integration rule to each, until convergence is achieved.

The p-adaptive version, `pcubature`, repeatedly doubles the degree of the quadrature rules until convergence is achieved, and is based on a tensor product of Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature rules. This algorithm is often superior to h-adaptive integration for smooth integrands in a few (<=3) dimensions, but is a poor choice in higher dimensions or for non-smooth integrands. Compare with `hcubature` which also takes the same arguments.

The vector interface requires the integrand to take a matrix as its argument. The return value should also be a matrix. The number of points at which the integrand may be evaluated is not under user control: the integration routine takes care of that and this number may run to several hundreds. We strongly advise vectorization; see vignette.

The `norm` argument is irrelevant for scalar integrands and is ignored. Given vectors v and e of estimated integrals and errors therein, respectively, the `norm` argument takes on one of the following values:

`INDIVIDUAL`

  Convergence is achieved only when each integrand (each component of v and e) individually satisfies the requested error tolerances

`L1`, `L2`, `LINF`

  The absolute error is measured as |e| and the relative error as |e|/|v|, where |...| is the L_1, L_2, or \L_{∞} norm, respectively

`PAIRED`

  Like `INDIVIDUAL`, except that the integrands are grouped into consecutive pairs, with the error tolerance applied in an L_2 sense to each pair. This option is mainly useful for integrating vectors of complex numbers, where each consecutive pair of real integrands is the real and imaginary parts of a single complex integrand, and the concern is only the error in the complex plane rather than the error in the real and imaginary parts separately

### Value

The returned value is a list of four items:

`integral` | the value of the integral
`error` | the estimated relative error
`functionEvaluations` | the number of times the function was evaluated
`returnCode` | the actual integer return code of the C routine
