中文版:编码效率计算器

Code Efficiency Calculator
符号概率 p(逗号分隔,和为 1)
对应码长 l(正整数,与 p 逐项对应)

原理:编码效率 η = H(p)/L——信源熵是平均码长的理论下界(香农第一定理),实际码长越贴近这个下限,编码越「不浪费」。定长 2 比特编码四符号时 η 通常小于 1,差额就是冗余。

步骤:① 输入各符号概率与对应码长;② 点击计算;③ 读出熵、平均码长与效率。

示例:p = (0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1) 全用 2 比特定长码时 H = 1.846439344671、L = 2、η = 0.923219672336;改成霍夫曼码 (1, 2, 3, 3) 后 L = 1.9、η 升至 0.971810181406。

注意事项:码长必须是正整数且与概率逐项对应;η 可能因四舍五入显示略大于可行码的实际值——理论上 η 不超过 1;判断一个码是否真正可解译还需检查前缀性质,本工具只评估长度效率。

相关:霍夫曼编码计算器直接生成最优前缀码;信息熵计算器给出下界的推导;冗余度视角可对照密码熵计算器对密钥强度的评估。
