I need to compute the rate-distortion curves for some discrete-time continuous-amplitude zero-memory sources (i.e., sequences of i.i.d. random variables), where "distortion" is always mean-square error. Anyone out there have code/advice for finding these curves? I know about the Arimoto-Blahut algorithm, but I'm lost as to how to implement it for continuous-alphabet sources. The application is academic, not commercial. Thanks! Ashok Chhabedia Popat MIT Rm 36-665 (617) 253-7302
