The author studies the loss of information due to discretizing a continuous random variable. By using Kullback-Leibler distance and a Bayesian setting, the author analyzed the asymptotic behaviour of the loss of information by infinitely refining the discretization. Asymptotically optimal discetizing schemes were studied in some cases.
