Methods and devices for encoding and decoding that involve sorting bins according to their respective estimated probabilities to form subsequences, each subsequence having an associated estimated probability. Subsequences are encoded to form codewords. Ordered sets of phrases of known length are then formed from the codewords. Each first of the phrases in a set contains at least part of one codeword. The first phrase has an associated estimated probability and the probability estimates associated with each of the other phrases in the set are determined based upon the probability estimate associated with the first phrase, which permits the phrases to be decoded in parallel.
