Abstract

Let (X1, . . . , Xk) be a multivariate normal random vector. We derive explicit expressions for the cumulative distribution function, probability density function and the moments of max(X1, . . . , Xk)). Each expression involves single infinite sums of known special functions. Computational issues like accuracy, convergence, time and simulations are investigated.
