MONTE_CARLO_RULE
Monte Carlo Sampling Regarded as Quadrature Rule


MONTE_CARLO_RULE is a FORTRAN90 program which generates a dataset of N random M-dimensional points, regards it as a quadrature rule for the unit hypercube, and writes out three files of information.

Usage:

monte_carlo_rule m n s
where

The data is written to three files:
