No. The Grid DataBlade uses a tiling scheme to subset multidimensional data efficiently. Compression would cause the tiles to change, making it more challenging to locate them.
Yes, although the amount of space needed will be larger than would be required using a dedicated video format, because DBXten doesn't currently have video specific compression routines. DBXten's strength is compression algorithms that preserve user-specified data precision.
Yes. Although in some rare cases when there is more than one LAV line to a dataset, there will be LAV lines that do not pass through any of the points. For example, plot the four points {(0,0), (1,1), (2,1), (3,0)} on a sheet of paper and you’ll soon notice that there are infinitely many LAV lines for this dataset, including four LAV lines that pass through some pair of points. In contrast, an LS line is always unique.
LAV fits are not affected by the size of the mismatch (or residual) at any point, but only by the sign of the mismatch. So, if you move a mismatched point vertically through the LAV line it will have an effect.
