Abstract

Quantization for a probability distribution refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability supported by a finite set. In this article, we consider a probability distribution generated by an infinite system of affine transformations {Sij}\{S_{ij}\} on R2\mathbb R^2 with associated probabilities {pij}\{p_{ij}\} such that pij>0p_{ij}>0 for all i,jNi, j\in \mathbb N and i,j=1pij=1\sum_{i, j=1}^\infty p_{ij}=1. For such a probability measure PP, the optimal sets of nn-means and the nnth quantization error are calculated for every natural number nn. It is shown that the distribution of such a probability measure is the same as that of the direct product of the Cantor distribution. In addition, it is proved that the quantization dimension D(P)D(P) exists and is finite; whereas, the D(P)D(P)-dimensional quantization coefficient does not exist, and the D(P)D(P)-dimensional lower and the upper quantization coefficients lie in the closed interval [112,54][\frac{1}{12}, \frac{5}{4}].
