>and discard every 1/(p(x)-1/256)'th sample with value x. Actually the pedantic solution would be to put an arithmetic compressor/coder between the input and output, using the best model we've got. That still leaves model adaptation to be dealt with, but if we discard a sufficient number of output bits at start (estimable from the model), we *will* end up with (very nearly) flat statistics on the output. Asymptotic optimality and all that... (The qualification comes from limited precision arithmetic.) -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], tel:+358-50-5756111 student/math+cs/helsinki university, http://www.iki.fi/~decoy/front openpgp: 050985C2/025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
