Theory and construction of Quasi-Monte Carlo rules for option pricing and density estimation

In this paper we propose and analyse a method for estimating three quantities related to an Asian option: the fair price, the cumulative distribution function, and the probability density. The method involves preintegration with respect to one well chosen integration variable to obtain a smooth function of the remaining variables, followed by the application of a tailored lattice Quasi-Monte Carlo rule to integrate over the remaining variables.
