Our data is usually compressed for efficiency - are data compression techniques considered in SETI signals analysis?

Our data is usually compressed to reduce size - improve transmission efficiency, what also makes it more noise-like: difficult to detect. I wonder if it is taken into considerations for hypothetical SETI signals? The most basic techniques are entropy coding exploiting non-uniformness, the simplest prefix codes like Huffman have some statistical artifacts which might be detectable, uncodable.
