Abstract

Let T=(T1,...,Tk) be a random vector, C a convex set and h(·) a function with C as its domain. In this paper the computation of E{h(T)|Tε{lunate}C}by Monte Carlo methods is considered. A Markov chain is constructed such that C is its sample space and its asymptotic distribution is the distribution of T given Tε{lunate}C. E{h(T)|Tε{lunate}C}is computed then as the time average of h applied on the chaim states.
