 The search for the best codevector y is performed by alg_quant()
 (<xref target="vq.c">vq.c</xref>). There are several possible approaches to the 
 search with a tradeoff between quality and complexity. The method used in the reference
-implementation consists of first projecting the residual signal R = X - P onto the codebook
