  • Abstract
    A source encoding algorithm which is suitable for quantized data is presented. The algorithm is intuitive rather than rigorous and has good performance over a wide range of inputs with only one variable parameter. Consequently, it is applicable to situations in which the source statistics are only partially understood or are time varying. The algorithm is explained, and some of its properties and performance are explored.
