Abstract
The computation of the probability of certain post-decoding error events is formulated for block codes whose weight distributions are known. A bounded-distance decoder for group codes is assumed. Numerical examples included show post-decoding character error rates for the Golay code and for some Reed-Solomon codes and the distribution of post-decoding errors for the same Reed-Solomon codes. An extension to errors and erasures decoding is also given.
