Entropy coding

form of entropy encoding used in lossless data compression

technique for constructing a prefix code

lossless data compression method

lossless data compression scheme that is independent of the specific characteristics of the medium

Entropy encoding

universal encoding scheme for positive integers

entropy coding method defined by G. Nigel N. Martin in a 1979 paper, which effectively rediscovered the FIFO arithmetic code first introduced by Richard Clark Pasco in 1976

lossless compression technique

universal code encoding positive integers

information theory technique for assigning shorter encoding sequences to more frequently-occurring represented elements

universal code encoding positive integers

data compression

entropy encoding typically used for uniform probability distributions with a finite alphabet

type of universal code, parameterized by a nonnegative integer
