Abstract:
Quantization for probability distributions refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability supported by a set with no more than n points. It has broad application in signal processing and data compression. Quantization dimension gives the speed how fast the specified measure of the error goes to zero as n approaches infinity. Quantization dimension is also connected with other dimensions of dynamical systems such as Hausdorff, packing and box counting dimensions. I will talk about it.
