Abstract
This paper concerns the use of a particular class of determinantal point processes (DPP), a class of repulsive spatial point processes, for Monte Carlo integration. Let , with . Using a single set of N quadrature points defined, once for all, in dimension d from the realization of a specific DPP, we investigate “minimal” assumptions on the integrand in order to obtain unbiased Monte Carlo estimates of for any known ι-dimensional integrable function on . In particular, we show that the resulting estimator has variance with order when the integrand belongs to some Sobolev space with regularity . When (which includes a large class of non-differentiable functions), the variance is asymptotically explicit and the estimator is shown to satisfy a Central Limit Theorem.
