the two text in google scholar should tell you almost everything you
need, the basic idea is that one:

given a profile between frequency and amplitude and the surrounding of
the samples you can pick a quantizer within a certain range knowing that
you cannot really heard the difference because the distortion is either
canceled by the neighbors contribute or in itself isn't strong enough
for the frequency.

(I know somebody will kill me for this ugly explanation but I think is
ok for an introduction)
