GLIntegrate: Gauss-Legendre Quadrature

Description

Gauss-Legendre quadrature over a finite interval.

Usage

GLIntegrate(f, lower, upper, order = 500, ...)

Arguments

f
an R function taking a numeric first argument and returning a numeric vector of the same length. Returning a non-finite element will generate an error.
lower
finite lower limit of integration.
upper
finite upper limit of integration.
order
order of Gauss-Legendre quadrature.
...
additional arguments to be passed to f. Remember to use argument names not matching those of GLIntegrate!

Value

  • Estimate of the integral.

concept

integration

Details

In case order = 100, 500, 1000 saved abscissas and weights are used. Otherwise the corresponding abscissas and weights are computed using the algorithm given in Section 4.5 of Press et al. (1992).
