Regression Estimators Related to Multinormal Distributions: Computer Experiences in Root Finding

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 458))

Abstract

Several simple regression estimators can be constructed to approximate the distribution function of the m-dimensional normal distribution along a line. These functions can be used to find the border points of the feasible region of probability constrained stochastic programming models. Computer experiences show a fast and robust behaviour of the root finding techniques.
