The way I understand stratified sampling is this: <img width="525" alt="stratified0" src="https://github.com/mmp/pbr-book-website/assets/49757619/f93c7be5-e6ec-4a04-933a-b11083eba39b"> so naturally <img width="225" alt="stratified1" src="https://github.com/mmp/pbr-book-website/assets/49757619/25cd1f63-42d5-440a-9940-134f80d642d5"> but what is this fractional volume doing here? <img width="999" alt="stratified2" src="https://github.com/mmp/pbr-book-website/assets/49757619/60cbe8cc-3d81-4c54-961f-be30a73d74ab"> and I don't understand these two at all, each stratum is an integral over lambda i, shouldn't the integrand be f(x) itself? <img width="804" alt="stratified3" src="https://github.com/mmp/pbr-book-website/assets/49757619/e8da4132-6129-4a73-81ef-7a0f60f44e3a">
The way I understand stratified sampling is this:

so naturally

but what is this fractional volume doing here?

and I don't understand these two at all, each stratum is an integral over lambda i, shouldn't the integrand be f(x) itself?
