[ P E ] = QSCMVNV( M, R, A, CN, B )
uses a randomized quasi-random rule with m points to estimate an
MVN probability for positive semi-definite covariance matrix r,
with constraints a < cn*x < b. If r is nxn and cn is kxn, then
a and b must be column k-vectors.
Probability p is output with error estimate e.
Example use:
r = [ 4 3 2 1; 3 5 -1 1; 2 -1 4 2; 1 1 2 5 ];
a = [ -inf 1 -5 ]'; b = [ 3 inf 4 ]';
cn = [ 1 2 3 -2; 2 4 1 2; -2 3 4 1 ];
[ p e ] = qscmvnv( 5000, r, a, cn, b ); disp([ p e ])
This function uses an algorithm given in the paper by Alan Genz:
"Numerical Computation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities", in
J. of Computational and Graphical Stat., 1(1992), 141-149.
The primary references for the numerical integration are
"On a Number-Theoretical Integration Method"

"Randomization of Number Theoretic Methods for Multiple Integration"
