Types of quadrature
Dear R-users I would like to integrate something like \int_k^\infty (1 - F(x)) dx, where F(.) is a cumulative distribution function. As mentioned in the "integrate" help-page: integrate(dnorm,0,20000) ## fails on many systems. This does not happen for an adaptive Simpson or Lobatto quadrature (cf. Matlab). Even though I am hardly familiar with numerical integration the implementation seems to be fairly straightforward. My questions: - Is this extension of the function "integrate" planned for upcoming versions of R? - Do there exist packages / workarounds? I'm using R 2.6.2 on Windows and the reason why I want to integrate such an expression is for the sake to compute the performance measure "Omega" for financial securities.
