A counterpart of Remerz´s algorithms in statistical decision theory: Chang-Davisson´s algorithms

A surprising resemblance has been found between the Remez and Chang-Davisson algorithm in the sense that the underlying idea accidentally coincides although the applications are quite different. The authors investigate the analogy between these algorithms. In particular, they look into their respective properties and differences and discuss their prospects. A comparison is then made to see their common structure and to gain insight into possible applications. It is concluded that one potential connection is to open up a new approach to digital filter design
