  PPM compression algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PPM is an adaptive statistical data compression technique based on context modeling and prediction.
PPM models use a set of previous symbols in the uncompressed symbol stream to predict the next symbol in the stream.
This process is the inverse of that followed by DMC compression algorithms which build up from a zero-order model.

In computer science, data compression or source coding is the process of encoding information using fewer bits (or other information-bearing units) than a more obvious representation would use, through use of specific encoding schemes.
A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is any of a number of data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the dictionary) maintained by the encoder.
Lossless data compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allow the original data to be reconstructed exactly from the compressed data.

 PPM compression algorithm
Some PPM algorithms have the useful property of being able to interpret any collection of bytes as valid compressed input.
An algorithm with this property is said to be bijective.
Bijectiveness has positive implications for compression efficiency and security because there is no way to distinguish random data from valid output.

 Postgraduate Seminar Series - Past Seminars (2000)
PPM (Prediction by Partial Matching) is one example of a context-based text compression.
PPM always predicts the current symbol from the highest order and if the symbol is not found, an escape symbol will be sent and and then uses the next lower order to predict the probability of the current symbol.

In the method and apparatus for compressing a stream of data symbols, a fixed length search window, comprising a predetermined contiguous portion of the symbol stream, is selected as the string to be searched by the string searcher.
If a string to be compressed is found in the symbol stream, a code is output designating the location within the search window of the matching string and the length of the matching string.

 An Asymmetric, Semi-adaptive Text Compression Algorithm (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Abstract: A new heuristic for text compression via digram replacement and a new, fast entropy coding method are described and implementation results are presented.
The resulting compression algorithm is asymmetric in the sense that compression requires much time and memory, but decompression is fast and requires little memory.
Compression ratios achieved are competitive with gzip for a standard corpus of texts, and better for large files.

 Part 1: Compression Algorithm FAQ - Games++
Such algorithms are claimed to compress random data and to be applicable recursively, that is, applying the compressor to the compressed output of the previous run, possibly multiple times.
Page 27, line 18 of the patent states that the claimed method can compress without loss *all* files by at least one bit: the direct bit encode method of the present invention is effective for reducing an input string by one bit regardless of the bit pattern of the input string.
Human assistance to the compression is no longer needed and the compression time is reasonable, although the more time and compute power you throw at the compression, the smaller the resulting file for the same level of quality.

 Data compression: the "3R" algorithm
Using existing algorithms would be useless, as most of them operate on bytes (while histograms can contain very large numbers) and are quite complex for such a simple task.
Here the algorithm is extended to the two-dimensional case but it conserves the property that each branch has roughly the same weight.
I am surprised that a minor algorithm originally intended for lossless sound compression can also be used in still or moving picture compression, or as backend to other transforms like FFT or BWT (this is yet do be examined).

This size blowup carries over to compressed formats as well, that is, text-compressed XML versions are typically still larger than compressed costomized files.
Furthermore, compression tends to introduce another "pass" into XML processing since files must be decompressed before they can be parsed and processed.

GIF has additional "LZW" compression built in, but LZW doesn't work very well on typical photographic data; at most you may get 5:1 compression overall, and it's not at all uncommon for LZW to be a net loss (i.e., less than 3:1 overall compression).
When I say "lossless", I mean mathematically lossless: a lossless compression algorithm is one that guarantees its decompressed output is bit-for-bit identical to the original input.
The disadvantages of MPEG are (1) it requires far more computation to generate the compressed sequence (since detecting visual similarities is hard for a computer), and (2) it's difficult to edit an MPEG sequence on a frame-by-frame basis (since each frame is intimately tied to the ones around it).

In this manner it is fairly similar to other recent-generation compression algorithms.

In Unix, bzip2 can be used combined or independently of tar (file format): bzip2 file to compress and bzip2 -d file.bz2 to uncompress (the alias bunzip2 for decompression may also be used).

 C Programming: Best compression algorithm?
It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.
Note that in the blurb they mention another family of compression algorithms that may be a bit better.
But, if it is a good implementation you're after, bzip2 is free, solid, and fast, and is becoming popular because it is shipped with a number of linux distributions and cygwin.
