For context based compression techniques, for example Context Based YK compression, a method and system for grouping contexts from a given context model together to create a new context model that has fewer contexts, but retains acceptable compression gains compared to the original context model. According to an exemplary embodiment of the method empirical statistics are determined for a file type of a file to be compressed; and the context model is generated by iteratively grouping contexts of an initial context model in accordance with the empirical statistics, the context model having fewer contexts than an initial context model.
