There is no decompress code in the article ...

Someone has to wright one to check.

The author and his company claim that it can operate in lossless mode
and it is already in use in some medical systems, so probably yes. But
the improvement, if any, when compared with established algorithms
used for sound, seems not sensible. I would not bet time in writing
the decompression code.

PS - Matlab compression code is attached. So anyone can try to decompress!

Alright, I've done some proper testing.

I encoded 105 seconds of 8 bit PCM audio.

Flac got a ratio of .240 on -0 (least compression) and a ratio of .230 on -8 (most compression)

The algorithm got a ratio of "2.7446", which is 0.36 if you convert it to the way flac measures. (take the inverse).

So flac does better in terms of absolute compression, ignoring any performance measures.
