Fill BoW with some info.

I hope that after some formatting it can serve as an example
for future entries.

+\section{Predictive Coding}
+
+Prediction is wide-employed method for effective data compression. One can think about prediction as a FIR filter $y_n = x_n - f(x_{n-1}, x_{n-2}, \ddots)$ where $x_n$ is $n$-th input sample and $y_n$ is $n$-th output sample and $f(x)$ is a prediction function. Depending on prediction function type there is  linear prediction (i.e. $y_n = x_n - \sum _{i=0} ^N a_i x_{n-i-1}$) and nonlinear prediction. Prediction is called fixed when prediction function does not employ any internal state and adaptive prediction when
+output depends on some internal state (e.g. linear prediction coefficients are adjusted depending on previous outputs).
+
+Linear prediction is commonly used in audio compression techniques --- (A)DPCM codecs, speech coding, lossless coding.
+
+\subsection{Temporal Correlation}
+
+Temporal correlation means correlating samples in time domain, i.e. predicting next waveform sample and coding the difference.
+
+\subsubsection{DPCM}
+Differential PCM is without a doubt one of the oldest audio compression techniques employed due its very low computation cost. Typical compression ratio is 2.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+while there are samples left to decode
+    diff <-- get difference
+    predictor <-- predictor + diff
+    output predictor as a new sample
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsubsection{ADPCM}
+
+Most popular is IMA ADPCM compression scheme, which is used as a basis for many proprietary variations that are usually used in games and  several widespread ADPCM codecs such as Apple IMA ADPCM and Microsoft IMA ADPCM.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+while there are samples left to decode
+    diff <-- get difference
+    predictor <-- predictor + diff*step
+    output predictor as a new sample
+    adjust step based on diff
+\end{verbatim}
