An importance sampling proposal must be positive wherever the target-weighted integrand can contribute. The usual sufficient condition is that the target probability is absolutely continuous with respect to . Otherwise multiplying observed draws by cannot recover a missing part of the integral. A strict rejection envelope supplies this condition for the rejected-proposal distribution.
