Joint Fixed-Rate Universal Lossy Coding and Identification of Continuous-Alphabet Memoryless Sources

Abstract--The problem of joint universal source coding and density estimation is considered in the setting of fixed-rate lossy coding of continuous-alphabet memoryless sources. For a wide class of bounded distortion measures, it is shown that any compactly parametrized family of d -valued independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) sources with absolutely continuous distributions satisfying appropriate smoothness and Vapnik
