Abstract
We consider parameter estimation in decentralized systems with distrib uted processors. We restrict the local processors to be quantizers and consider the optimal design of the systems to minimize the estimation error. We present necessary conditions for the optimal system based o n the Bayes distortion functions and Fisher's information. The numeric al results compare the resulting quantizers obtained by different dist ortion criteria.
