Shifting integration variables

154 Views Asked by At

I'm not sure how to pose this question precisely, but I'll try. I'm trying to see what happens when you have an integral of the form $\int \mathrm{d}x \,f(x-g(z))$ and you try and write it as $\int \mathrm{d}\mu(h)\, f(h)$ where $h=x-g(z)$ and $\mathrm{d}\mu$ is the measure for the new variable. This is just a shift of variables, but since $g$ isn't constant I'm not sure how the measure changes. Is there a general procedure for this?
