Oops. I did it again.

<t>I think I've completely screwed up my CV.I've completed my MSc in Sept, since then I've only applied for 5 roles and went for 2 interviews, spending most of my time analysing tick data and coming up with algo trading strategies. (It was fun and surprisingly addictive).So that's a 6 months break. ...

Numerical integration of Covariance matrix

<t>hey guys,short question: Consider a matrix, with elements [$]\Sigma(\phi)_{i,j} = \phi^{|i-j|}[$] . Is there a good way to integrate [$]\Sigma^{-1} \times p(\phi) [$] on [$]\phi [$] over an interval, numerically or otherwise? I did a simple stratified sampling, which produced terrible results. </t>
