Abstract: In this paper we show that a wide class of integrals over $\mathbb R^d$ with a probability weight function can be evaluated using a quasi-Monte Carlo algorithm based on a proper decomposition of the domain $\mathbb R^d$ and arranging low discrepancy points over a series of hierarchical hypercubes. For certain classes of power/exponential decaying weights the algorithm is of optimal order.
