Abstract

Trimmed best k-nets were introduced in J. A. Cuesta-Albertos, A. Gordaliza and C. Matrán (1998, Statist. Probab. Lett.36, 401-413) as a robustified L[infinity]-based quantization procedure. This paper focuses on the asymptotics of this procedure. Also, some possible applications are briefly sketched to motivate the interest of this technique. Consistency and weak limit law are obtained in the multivariate setting. Consistency holds for absolutely continuous distributions without the (artificial) requirement of a trimming level varying with the sample size as in J. A. Cuesta-Albertos, A. Gordaliza and C. Matrán (1998, Statist. Probab. Lett.36, 401-413). The weak convergence will be stated toward a non-normal limit law at a OP(n-1/3) rate of convergence. An algorithm for computing trimmed best k-nets is proposed. Also a procedure is given in order to choose an appropriate number of centers, k, for a given data set.
