Lecture Notes in Mathematics,0075-8434 ;1730Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph3-540-67394-6 Includes bibliographical references (pages [215]-224) and index.I. General properties of the quantization for probability distributions: Voronoi partitions. Centers and moments of probability distributions. The quantization problem. Basic properties of optimal quantizers. Uniqueness and optimality in one dimension -- II. Asymptotic quantization for nonsingular probability distributions: Asymptotics for the quantization error. Asymptotically optimal quantizers. Regular quantizers and quantization coefficients. Random quantizers and quantization coefficients. Asymptotics for the covering radius -- III. Asymptotic quantization for singular probability distributions: The quantization dimension. Regular sets and measures of dimension D. Rectifiable curves. Self-similar sets and measures.Due to the rapidly increasing need for methods of data compression, quantization has become a flourishing field in signal and image processing and information theory. The same techniques are also used in statistics (cluster analysis), pattern recognition, and operations research (optimal location of service centers). The book gives the first mathematically rigorous account of the fundamental theory underlying these applications. The emphasis is on the asymptotics of quantization errors for absolutely continuous and special classes of singular probabilities (surface measures, self-similar measures) presenting some new results for the first time. Written for researchers and graduate students in probability theory the monograph is of potential interest to all people working in the disciplines mentioned above.Lecture Notes in Mathematics,0075-8434 ;1730ProbabilitiesStatistics Pattern recognitionOperations researchDecision makingElectrical engineeringProbability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Statistical Theory and Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S11001Pattern Recognitionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I2203XOperations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Communications Engineering, Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24035Probabilities.Statistics .Pattern recognition.Operations research.Decision making.Electrical engineering.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Statistical Theory and Methods.Pattern Recognition.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Communications Engineering, Networks.519.24Graf Siegfriedauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut62624Luschgy Haraldauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466508503316Foundations of quantization for probability distributions262272UNISA03575nam 2200745 a 450 991096141220332120240516111742.01-283-42629-3978661342629190-04-22247-2(CKB)2550000000079495(EBL)842207(OCoLC)773566746(SSID)ssj0000591487(PQKBManifestationID)12254055(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000591487(PQKBWorkID)10727310(PQKB)10133582(SSID)ssj0000609615(PQKBManifestationID)11397206(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000609615(PQKBWorkID)10619325(PQKB)11108911(MiAaPQ)EBC842207(OCoLC)774496879(nllekb)BRILL9789004222472(Au-PeEL)EBL842207(CaPaEBR)ebr10525101(CaONFJC)MIL342629(PPN)174546254(EXLCZ)99255000000007949520111005d2012 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrLady E.S.

S. Drower Bibliography: Works Relevant to Mandaeism -- Index of Names.An edition of the scholarly letters of the English Lady E. S. Drower, famous for her novels, travel accounts, and studies in the Middle East, especially on the Mandaeans. Drower (1879‐1972) kept up a lively correspondence with scholars, and the letters here span the years 1938 to the mid 1960's. It presents a window on Near Eastern studies in the mid 20th century, from the viewpoint of an autodidact insisting on, and succeeding in, a place among the academics.. Correspondence with many famous scholars and intellectuals are included, such as Cyrus H. Gordon, Rudolf Macuch, Sidney H. Smith, Godfrey R. Driver, Samuel H. Hooke, and Franz Rosenthal. The letters focus on four of Lady Drower's main books: The Book of the Zodiac (1949), Water into Wine (1956), A Mandaic Dictionary (with Rudolf Macuch, 1963), and Drowers hoped for, crowning achievement: the presumably lost, large manuscript, Mass and Masiqta .Studies in the history of religions ;137.Scholarly correspondenceSemitistsGreat BritainCorrespondenceSemitic philologyMandaean languageSemitistsSemitic philology.Mandaean language.492/.092Drower E.
