https://doi.org/10.17713/ajs.v31i2&3.482Abstract
We resume recent developments in the theory of unbiased quantizations of probability distributions. Starting with variance-minimizing partitions, we review concept such as f-information, maximum support plane partition and quantizations, and motivate the definition of unbiased quantizations. The obtained results have applications in statistical inference and in the theory of comparison of experiments.References
