Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are used to derive error bounds and
worst-case integrands for a large family of quadrature rules. In the c
ase of lattice rules applied to periodic integrands these error bounds
resemble those previously derived in the literature. However, the the
ory developed here does not require periodicity and is not restricted
to lattice rules. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) decomposition is emp
loyed in defining the inner product. It is shown that imbedded rules a
re superior when integrating functions with large high-order ANOVA eff
ects.
