Multi-level Monte Carlo approximation of distribution functions and densities

We construct and analyze multi-level Monte Carlo methods for the approximation of distribution functions and densities of univariate random variables. Since, by assumption, the target distribution is not known explicitly, approximations have to be used. We provide a general analysis under suitable a...
