Abstract:

Quantization of the univariate normal arises in a number of applications. One seeks an optimal set of representative points and a number of investigators have written on this problem and prepared tables. In this paper we explore some special cases in two and three dimensions employing mean square error as a loss function. Results are given for these special multivariate situations. Author
