Abstract

If N is standard Gaussian, the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) of estimating X based on √snrX + N vanishes at least as fast as 1/snr as snr → ∞. We define the MMSE dimension of X as thelimit as snr → ∞ of the product of snr and the MMSE. For discrete, absolutely continuous or mixed X we show that the MMSE dimension equals Renyi's information dimension. However, for singular X, we show that the product of snr and MMSE oscillates around information dimension periodically in snr (dB). We also show that discrete side information does not reduce MMSE dimension. These results extend considerably beyond Gaussian N under various technical conditions.
