The context tree models are widely used in a lot of research fields. Patricia [7] like trees are applied to the context trees that are expanded according to the increase of the length of a source sequence in the previous researches of non-predictive source coding and model selection. The space complexity of the Patricia like context trees are O(t) where t is the length of a source sequence. On the other hand, the predictive Bayes source coding algorithm cannot use a Patricia like context tree, because it is difficult to hold and update the posterior probability parameters on a Patricia like tree. So the space complexity of the expanded trees in the predictive Bayes coding algorithm is O(t 2 ) . In this paper, we propose an efficient predictive Bayes coding algorithm using a new representation of the posterior probability parameters and the com pact context tree holding the parameters whose space complexity is O(t).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
