Extended binomial moments of a linear code and
the undetected error probability
Journal article, 2003
The extended binomial moments of a linear code, introduced
in this paper, are
synonymously related to the code
weight distribution and linearly to its binomial moments.
In contrast to the latter, the extended binomial
moments are monotone, which makes
them very appropriate
for study of the undetected error probability.
In this work
we establish some properties of
the extended binomial moments and based on this we derive
new lower and upper
bounds on the probability of undetected
error. Also, we give a simplification of
some previously obtained sufficient conditions
for proper and good codes, stated in terms of the
extended binomial moments.
