In this note, the authors point out that the use of Gaussian quadrature is extremely efficient and is well within the bounds of computational feasibility on modern computers. They state the nature of the integrals that need to be evaluated, provide a brief exposition of Gaussian quadrature, and provide a numerical illustration of its use in estimating a one-factor multinomial probit model.
