Consider $e_n = \inf \exp \int \log \parallel x - f(x) \parallel dP(x)$, where $p$ is a probability measure on $\real^d$ and the infimum is taken over all measurable maps $f{:}\ \real^d \rightarrow \real^d$ with $| f(\real^d)| \leq n$. We study solutions $f$ of this minimization problem. For absolutely continuous distributions and for self-similar distributions we derive the exact rates of convergence to zero of the $n$th quantization error $e_n$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$. We establish a relationship between the quantization dimension that rules the rates and the Hausdorff dimension of $P$.
The sharp asymptotics for the L 2 -quantization errors of Gaussian measures on a Hilbert space and, in particular, for Gaussian processes is derived. The condition imposed is regular variation of the eigenvalues.
Abstract.We elucidate the asymptotics of the L s -quantization error induced by a sequence of L roptimal n-quantizers of a probability distribution P on R d when s > r. In particular we show that under natural assumptions, the optimal rate is preserved as long as s < r + d (and for every s in the case of a compactly supported distribution). We derive some applications of these results to the error bounds for quantization based cubature formulae in numerical integration on R d and on the Wiener space.Mathematics Subject Classification. 60G15, 60G35, 41A25.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
