Is there a kind of '''agreed''' definition on this term?
At least [http://www.mqasem.net/vectorquantization/vq.html] attempts to define it. Should Wikipedia adopt this definition? Are there alternative definitions somewhere?
:Another option from [http://www.answers.com/topic/vector-quantization]:
:<blockquote>A [[data compression]] technique in which a finite sequence of values is presented as resembling the template (from among the choices available to a given [[codebook]]) that minimizes a [[Distortion (mathematics)|distortion measure]].</blockquote>
