Consistency of randomized integration methods

Abstract: We prove that a class of randomized integration methods, including averages based on $(t,d)$-sequences, Latin hypercube sampling, Frolov points as well as Cranley-Patterson rotations, consistently estimates expectations of integrable functions. Consistency here refers to convergence in mean and/or convergence in probability of the estimator to the integral of interest. Moreover, we suggest median modified methods and show for integrands in $L^p$ with $p>1$ consistency in terms of almost sure convergence
