Fano

Define the modified cdf \(\overline{F}(x)\) based on the standard cdf \(F(x)\): \[\overline{F}(x)=\sum_{a<x}p(a)+\frac{1}{2}p(x)=F(x-1)-\frac{1}{2}p(x ......

From section 5.3, we have \(l_i^*=-\log_D p_i\), but it may not be integer, and we should choose \(l_i\) close to \(l_i^*\). So round it up using the ......
