-=== Impact of helper-data volume and amount of addends
+=== Helper-data size and amount of addends
 
 The amount of helper data is directly linked to the symbol bit width $M$ and the amount of addends $N$ used in the linear combination.
 Because we can set the first helper data bit $h_1$ of a linear combination to $1$ to omit the random choice, the resulting extracted bit to helper data bit ratio $cal(r)$ can be defined as $cal(r) = frac(M, N-1)$, whose equation is similar tot he one we used in the @smhdt analysis.

 Although this method posed promising results for a sign-based quantization yielding an improvement of $approx 96%$ in our testing, finding a good approach to generalize this concept turned out to be difficult. 
 The first issue was the lack of an analytical description of the probability distribution resulting from the linear combinations. 
 We accounted for that by using an algorithm that alternates between defining the quantizing bounds using an @ecdf and optimizing the weights for the linear combinations based on the found bounds.
-The loose definition of @eq:optimization to find an ideal linear combination which maximizes the distance to its nearest quantization bound did not result in a stable probability distribution over various iterations.
+The initial loose definition to find ideal linear combinations which maximize the distance to their nearest quantization bounds did not result in a stable probability distribution over various iterations.
 Thus, we proposed a different approach to approximate the linear combination to the centers between the quantizing bounds. 
 This method resulted in a stable probability distribution, but did not provide any meaningful improvements to the @ber in comparison to not using any helper data at all.
