How to code integral of product of lognormal variables?

1 view (last 30 days)
I am trying to code integral of a product of variables which follow different distributions. Here's a simple example:
where b is a scalar (let's say 0.65), ϵ and z are lognormal variables, and σ is a variable that follows Uniform distribution. Here, is a particular value that σ takes which comes from solving another equation not shown here. How can I code this expression? How can I handle a variable integral limit in such cases ( in this example)?

Please have a look at how this example would be solved in Matlab:
syms x y z;
f = @(x,y,z) 2*x.*exp(y).*sin(z); % define the input function
Q = integral3(f,1,2,0,1,0,pi)
Q = 10.3097

Thanks @Torsten. Is there a way to handle variable integral limit in multiple integration? I have multiple integrals whose lower or upper limit is a variable that I obtain by solving another equation.

Yes, define the integral as a function of the limit and evaluate the integral when the limit becomes known as a numerical value.
Or use symbolic computations with the limit as a symbolic variable. If you are lucky, the symbolic toolbox will be able to compute the integral involving the symbolic limit variable.
syms a b c x lb ub
f = a*x^2+b*x+c;
F = int(f,x,lb,ub)
F =
