Abstract
In this paper, we aim to compute numerical approximation integral by using an adaptive Monte Carlo algorithm. We propose a stratified sampling algorithm based on an iterative method which splits the strata following some quantities called indicators which indicate where the variance takes relative big values. The stratification method is based on the optimal allocation strategy in order to decrease the variance from iteration to another. Numerical experiments show and confirm the efficiency of our algorithm.
