Abstract(in English) In the entropy coders known as Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS) proposed by Jarek Duda, the source distribution must be approximated as rational numbers. Considering that the compression performance is determined by approximation accuracy, the original developer analyzes ANS on the assumption that an approximation close to the true distribution is desirable. On the other hand, the present authors revealed that a more accurate approximation does not directly improve the compression performance of ANS, and already proposed a new approximation formula. In this paper, experiments are conducted to evaluate the compression performance attained by the new formula for various sources with finite alphabets.
