Abstract

Asymptotic properties of therth power distortion measure associated with quantized $ k $-dimensional random variables are considered. Subject only to a moment condition, it is shown that the infimum over all $ N $ level quantizers of the quantity $ N^{r/k} $ times the $ r $th power average distortion converges to a finite constant as $ N \rightarrow \infty $.
