1. A computer-implemented method for decompressing sparse multidimensional ordered series data from a compressed data file or stream, the method comprising:

receiving the compressed data file or stream;

decoding an adjusted local region data from the compressed data file or stream, wherein the decoded adjusted local region data corresponds to a target local region to be restored;

decoding an optimum scale factor from the compressed data file or stream by comparing the decoded adjusted local region data to one or more prior local regions decoded from the compressed data file or stream, and generating predicted local region peaks that are scaled by the optimum scale factor;

adding the predicted local region peaks and the decoded adjusted local region data together to provide a restored local region data; and

outputting the restored local region data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusted local region data and the optimum scale factor are decoded using a decoder that applies encoding used to encode data.

outputting the restored local region data.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein adding the predicted local region peaks and the decoded adjusted local region data together comprises computing a correlation level between the adjusted local region data and one or more prior local regions and only adding the predicted local region peaks and the decoded adjusted local region data together when the correlation level exceeds a threshold, otherwise setting the restored local region data to the decoded adjusted local region data.
