Abstract
K.A.S. Immink and J.H. Weber recently defined and studied a channel with both gain and offset mismatch, modelling the behaviour of charge-leakage in flash memory. They proposed a decoding measure for this channel based on minimising Pearson distance (a notion from cluster analysis). The paper derives a formula for maximum likelihood decoding for this channel, and also defines and justifies a notion of minimum distance of a code in this context.
