Rate–distortion theory: Rate–distortion functions, Introduction & Connecting rate-distortion theory to channel capacity

Rate–distortion theory is a major branch of information theory which provides the theoretical foundations for lossy data compression; it addresses the problem of determining the minimal number of bits per symbol, as measured by the rate R, that should be communicated over a channel, so that the source (input signal) can be approximately reconstructed at…
