It looks to me like the "hint" is pointing toward doing a change of variable related to completing the square, i.e. exp( -(x^2(1-rho^2) + (y - rho*x)^2)/2 * (1-rho^2) ) and substituting y = u + rho*x. Now with an inner integral over y, x is considered a constant, so dy = du. But you have a change in the limits of integration. I'll assume for the sake of notational consistency that the limits of integration on y are from -oo to Y. Then the inner integral on u would range from -oo to Y - rho*x, and the factors x * exp( -x^2/2 ) can be moved out of this inner integral. regards, mathtalk-ga |
