Accurate computation of the right tail of the sum of dependent log-normal variates

Accurate computation of the right tail of the sum of dependent log-normal variates

We study the problem of the Monte Carlo estimation of the right tail of the distribution of the sum of correlated log-normal random variables. While a number of theoretically efficient estimators have been proposed for this setting, using a few numerical examples we illustrate that these published proposals may not …
