Abstract
This paper presents a rate-distortion theory for hierarchically networked data structures modelled as tree-indexed multitype process. Specifically, this paper gives a generalized asymptotic equipartition property (AEP) for hierarchical data structures. The proof of our main result uses large deviation principles for suitably defined empirical measures of multitype Galton-Watson trees.
