Corrections to `Gradient Algorithms for Designing Predictive Vector Quantizers'

Kenneth Zeger

Abstract

An error in a paper by Chang and Gray [1] is pointed out and corrected. The error invalidates their observation that the Generalized Lloyd Algorithm is a gradient descent technique but the Generalized Lloyd Algorithm is a member of the related class of coordinate descent techniques. Convergence rate analysis of gradient descent algorithms for vector quantizer design is provided.
