Well maybe compression systems just have to be designed so that transformation functions can be applied without decompressing the data. Perhaps cross-compression transformations are not necessary. I am only saying that because standardization and regularization is what would make the transformation functions on the compressed data more feasible to develop. Jim Bromer
