Simplified expression for the expected error span recovery for variable length codes
AHMED AL SOUALHI, Essam E. M. Hassan · International Journal of Electronics · 1993
An expression in the form of a series expansion for the error span recovery for variable length codes is presented. Numerical results for both the error span recovery and its standard deviation show complete agreement with those obtained via the complex exact functions. The expression is simple and can be applied to any model where the exact expression is prohibitively complicated.
