International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 14-16, 1978 / Hyatt House Hotel, Los Angeles, CaliforniaFor digital representation of analog data the minimum mean-squared-error criterion is commonly used as a criterion for the basis of optimum quantizer design. In this paper we show that in some situations measures other than the minimum mean-squared-error may be more appropriate. For the signal representation problem, it is shown that the mean-absolute-error criterion has theoretical justification, as again for some signal detection problems it is shown that the mean-squared-error criterion is not the most appropriate criterion.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
