Title: Calculation of multivariate normal probabilities by simulation, with applications to maximum simulated likelihood estimation
Description: "We discuss methods for calculating multivariate normal probabilities by simulation and two new Stata programs for this purpose: -mdraws- for deriving draws from the standard uniform density using either Halton or pseudo-random sequences, and an egen function -mvnp()- for calculating the probabilities themselves. Several illustrations show how the programs may be used for maximum simulated likelihood estimation"--Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit web site.
