Interval estimates of bit-error rate of burst error sequences

Author

Abstract

"This dissertation examines the accuracy of bit-error rate estimates in burst error channels. Conventional methods of calculating the confidence interval for non-burst or uncorrelated error sequences are reviewed. These methods are modified and applied to correlated or burst error sequences, and the effect of burst errors in error sequences on the accuracy of the confidence interval estimation is studied. Conventional methods generate confidence intervals that are too small for burst error sequences. The modified calculation method widens the range of the interval according to the level of correlation in an error sequence. This new method works with both uncorrelated as well as correlated error sequences"--Abstract, page iii.
