Abstract
We introduce a new distance measure which permits likelihood information to be used in algebraic minimum distance decoding techniques. We give an efficient decoding algorithm, and develop exponential bounds on the probability of not decoding correctly. In one application, this technique yields the same probability of error as maximum likelihood decoding.
