Chapter 3 quadrature formulas there are several di erent methods for obtaining the area under an unknown curve fx based on just values of that function at given points. Thus, approximate and often randomized integration schemes are needed for algorithms in parameter selection that use this value as part of a larger optimization technique.
Historically, quadrature was a synonym for integration in generalliterally, converting areas into equivalent squares but in modern usage quadrature almost exclusively refers to computational algorithms.
