arXiv:2610.11960v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents upper and lower bounds on the minimax risk of a parameter estimation problem where the estimator not only observes independent and identically distributed observations but also a quantized version of the parameter, where the quantization has a limitation on the number of levels, but can be optimized otherwise. Our upper and lower bounds have similar decay rates for large number of observation samples and quantization levels.
