This general statement is a bit misleading as general data compression algorithms would include the popular [[LZW]] and [[LZ77]] algorithms,

which are hardly comparable to compression techniques typically called ''adaptive''.

[[Run -length encoding]] and the typical [[JPEG]] compression with run length encoding and predefined Huffman codes do not transmit a model.

A lot of other methods adapt their model to the current file and need to transmit it in addition to the encoded data, because both the encoder and the decoder need to use the model.
