Lower bounds on the estimation error in problems of distributed computation

Information-theoretic lower bounds on the estimation error are derived for problems of distributed computation. These bounds hold for a network attempting to compute a real-vector-valued function of the global information, when the nodes have access to partial information and can communicate through...
