Is there is a similar function to calculate the numerical value of the
density of a given
multivariable distribution?
I have a function of a distribution H(x1, ...,xn) (not one of the known
distributions),
i.e.  I can calculate a value of H for any (x1..., xn) .
And I want to calculate h(x1...,xn) for  any (x1...,xn) BUT I don't know the
analytical
expression of the density H.
