Talk:Shannon's source coding theorem

Reorganised/Merged

I suggest the 'Shannon noiseless source coding theorem' article be merged with this 'Source coding' article.

this is a separate large article. maybe a summary of this article might be appropriate on the source coding page - strong disagree

Merge carried out, having first:

renamed article from source coding to Shannon's source coding theorem
redirected source coding to point to data compression
moved material on variable rate codes to variable rate codes
removed tag suggesting merger with entropy encoding

Some more clean-up to do, to blend the presentation of the two theorems more closely. (Detailed editing not yet started). -- Jheald 22:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
