A central limit theorem for Latin hypercube sampling with dependence and application to exotic basket option pricing
We consider the problem of estimating $\mathbb{E} [f(U^1, \ldots, U^d)]$, where $(U^1, \ldots, U^d)$ denotes a random vector with uniformly distributed marginals. In general, Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a powerful tool for solving this kind of high-dimensional numerical integration problem. In the case of dependent components of the random vector $(U^1, \ldots, U^d)$ one can achieve more accurate results by using Latin hypercube sampling with dependence (LHSD). We state a central limit theorem for the $d$-dimensional LHSD estimator, by this means generalising a result of Packham and Schmidt. Furthermore we give conditions on the function $f$ and the distribution of $(U^1, \ldots, U^d)$ under which a reduction of variance can be achieved. Finally we compare the effectiveness of Monte Carlo and LHSD estimators numerically in exotic basket option pricing problems.
