Abstract

Quantization for probability distributions concerns the best approximation of a dd-dimensional probability distribution PP by a discrete probability with a given number nn of supporting points. In this paper, we have considered a probability measure generated by an infinite iterated function system associated with a probability vector on R\mathbb R. For such a probability measure PP, an induction formula to determine the optimal sets of nn-means and the nnth quantization error for every natural number nn is given. In addition, using the induction formula we give some results and observations about the optimal sets of nn-means for all n2n\geq 2.
