Shannon's Source Coding Theorem

#information-theory #entropy #physics

Theoretical analysis of entropy limits in data compression.

Explain the theoretical implications of Shannon's Source Coding Theorem. Describe the relationship between the entropy of a source and the average length of the shortest possible lossless encoding for that source. Why is it impossible to compress data below this limit without loss?
