How do you know the exact probability distribution for something unknown?
sm022
What are certain scenarios where we wouldn't want to bias the samples, like maybe if we have enough lighting everywhere or maybe could the machine have enough compute to make taking less beneficial samples not that wasteful overall?
snaminen
In what situations would we sample non-uniformly and how would we determine our probability distribution?
ml2
What would be the purpose of sampling non-uniformly if we wanted to weigh them into be uniform anyways?

So would you want to sample non-uniformly when it costs less to do so?
siamese
Are these probability distributions estimated? When do we want to sample non-uniformly vs uniformly?
