Given a countable set of points in a continuous space, Voronoi tessellation is an intuitive way of partitioning the space according to the distance to the individual points. As a powerful approach to obtain structural information, it has a…
Quantization of a probability measure means representing it with a finite set of Dirac masses that approximates the input distribution well enough (in some metric space of probability measures). Various methods exists to do so, but the…
