Abstract: A data reduction for reducing highly correlated data (e.g., highly correlated data streams) is provided. Correlated data of a plurality of data streams are identified, and a spectral dimensional decomposition is performed. In this way, information from the data of the data streams may be exploited, and this information may be used in order to achieve a highly efficient reduction of the data. In this way, the compression ratio of the data may be enhanced or the data loss of the reduce data compression may be minimized.
