Extract

If X1, …, Xn obey a multivariate normal distribution with zero means, then the probability that Xi > a for all i = 1, …, n is often called a multivariate normal integral. Such integrals have been considered by various investigators, particularly when a = 0. (For a bibliography, see Gupta.)
