A series expansion for the bivariate normal integral

Oldrich Alfons Vasicek

Journal of Computational Finance

Abstract: ABSTRACT An infinite series expansion is given for the bivariate normal cumulative distribution function. This expansion converges as a series of powers of 1 - p2, where p is the correlation coefficient, and thus represents a good alternative to the tetrachoric series when ñ is large in absolute value.
