Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design entropy-based codes by computing H, bits per symbol, and inefficiency quickly.
- Build Huffman-style prefix codes to map symbols to optimal bitstrings efficiently.
- Model text sources and estimate symbol probabilities from real English logs.
- Analyse noisy channels to quantify bit errors, propagation, and bit error rates.
- Balance compression and reliability by selecting block sizes, redundancy, and testing methods.
