  • Abstract
    The asymptotic probability of error for quantization in maximum-likelihood tests is analyzed. The authors assume quantizers with large numbers of levels generated from a companding function. A theorem that relates the companding function to the asymptotic probability of error is proved. The companding function is then optimized
