Under certain conditions on $V$, we derive the precise $n$-asymptotics of $e_n$ for nonsingular and for (singular) self-similar distributions $P$ and we find the asymptotic performance of optimal quantizers using weighted empirical measures.}, keywords = {empirical measure, High-rate vector quantization, local distortion, norm-difference distortion, Point density measure, weak convergence}, author = {Sylvain Delattre and Siegfried Graf and Harald Luschgy and Gilles Pag{\`e}s} }
