(Note that transforming a sufficiently well specified statistical model into a lossless data compressor is a solved problem, and the solution is called arithmetic encoding—I can give you my implementation, or you can find one on the web.
The unsolved problems are the ones hiding behind the token “sufficiently well specified statistical model”.
That said, thanks for the pointer to arithmetic encoding, that may be useful in the future.
