Z-channel (information theory)

Index Z-channel (information theory)

A Z-channel is a communications channel used in coding theory and information theory to model the behaviour of some data storage systems. [1]

Bernoulli distribution

In probability theory and statistics, the Bernoulli distribution, named after Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli, is the discrete probability distribution of a random variable which takes the value 1 with probability p and the value 0 with probability q.

Binary entropy function

In information theory, the binary entropy function, denoted \operatorname H(p) or \operatorname H_\text(p), is defined as the entropy of a Bernoulli process with probability p of one of two values.

Binary symmetric channel

A binary symmetric channel (or BSC) is a common communications channel model used in coding theory and information theory.

Channel capacity

Channel capacity, in electrical engineering, computer science and information theory, is the tight upper bound on the rate at which information can be reliably transmitted over a communication channel.

Code

In communications and information processing, code is a system of rules to convert information—such as a letter, word, sound, image, or gesture—into another form or representation, sometimes shortened or secret, for communication through a communication channel or storage in a storage medium.

Coding theory

Coding theory is the study of the properties of codes and their respective fitness for specific applications.

Communication channel

A communication channel or simply channel refers either to a physical transmission medium such as a wire, or to a logical connection over a multiplexed medium such as a radio channel in telecommunications and computer networking.

Conditional probability

In probability theory, conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event (some particular situation occurring) given that (by assumption, presumption, assertion or evidence) another event has occurred.

Information theory

Information theory studies the quantification, storage, and communication of information.

Random variable

In probability and statistics, a random variable, random quantity, aleatory variable, or stochastic variable is a variable whose possible values are outcomes of a random phenomenon.
