Hi

I have a 10-dimensional vector v(t)=(C1(t),C2(t),......,C10(t)) where Cj(t)
is between 0 and pi for any t.

I let t run from t=0 to t=T and get a set S of vectors
S={v(0),v(1),.....,v(T)}

How do I map this set S into a discrete set D ?

And how do I calculate the probability of any discrete vector in D?

Thanks...

You first need to define some distortion measure or performance measure
for the mapping. Then, given the distortion measure one may design an
optimal mapping.

OK, this is a curve in a 10 dimensional space.

What's that a set of T+1 (quantized?) vectors (centroids?) along the
above curve?

What is the definition of the discrete set D?

Exactly the same way you calculate the that probability someone would
understand what you were asking...

No, it's a set of observations.

Well. lets just say that the range 0 to pi is mapped into the discrete range
0,0.1,0.2,........3.2

***So v() and Cj() are continuous in time.

***So now you have sampled v(), eh? It's on a discrete set of time indices.
Or are you suggesting (not so clearly) that S is an infinite set of vectors
v?

***Why is S not a discrete set? Actually it would help to define a couple
of things:

T is a positive integer.
N=T ... which may seem trivial but helps the notation be more typical where
there are N+1 elements in S:

S={v(0),v(T/N),.....v(T-T/N),v(T)}

The v(j) terms are all on discrete times and, thus are vectors:

v(j) = (C1(j),C2(j),......,C10(j)).

So the v() here are vectors of length 10 and S is a matrix that is 10 X
(N+1)T no???
