  • Abstract
    In this correspondence, the rate-distortion function is calculated for a source emitting equiprobable precedence relations among m objects, using the fraction of pairs reproduced out-of-order as a distortion measure. For large m , the rate is approximately given by R(D) = m \\log (1/D) . The rate-distortion characteristics of cluster coding is seen to be nearly ideal for low-distortion conditions.
