On MMSE estimation from quantized observations in the nonasymptotic regime

This paper studies MMSE estimation on the basis of quantized noisy observations. It presents nonasymptotic bounds on MMSE regret due to quantization for two settings: (1) estimation of a scalar random variable given a quantized vector of $n$ conditionally independent observations, and (2) estimation of a $p$-dimensional random vector given a quantized vector of $n$ observations (not necessarily independent) when the full MMSE estimator has a subgaussian concentration property.
