Research Type Experimental In this section, we verify our results, especially centroid s location distribution Eq.(24), by using the Bregman hard clustering algorithm. Figure 1 shows, in the first row, the theoretical prediction of distribution of centroids, and in the second row, experimental histograms of centroid locations for different Bregman quantization problems.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain pseudocode or a clearly labeled algorithm block. It references 'Algorithm 1 in [3]', but that is external to this paper.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement or link indicating the release of open-source code for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No The paper describes sampling data points from a uniform distribution ('Suppose the density P is uniform over [0, 1].', 'The density P = U([0, 1]2)') for its experiments. It does not refer to a publicly available dataset with specific access information (link, DOI, citation).
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific training/validation/test dataset splits. It discusses sampling data and applying clustering, but no traditional data splitting is described.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific hardware details such as CPU/GPU models, memory, or cloud computing resources used for experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions applying 'standard k-means', 'Kullback-Leibler clustering', and 'norm-like clustering' algorithms, but does not provide specific version numbers for any software or libraries used (e.g., Python version, library versions).
Experiment Setup Yes We set number of clusters k = 81, and apply different versions of Bregman hard clustering algorithm on this sample: standard k-means, Kullback-Leibler clustering and norm-like clustering. In addition, we only verify r = 1 cases here, since the Bregman clustering algorithm, which utilizes Lloyd s method, cannot address Bregman quantization problems with r = 1.
