  • A sources coding problem is considered for the Wyner-Ziv type system where the decoder is required to estimate the value of some function of the encoder input and the side information.The rate-distortion function is established for this system, and for some binary cases parametric expressions are obtained to enable numerical calculation.
  • This result is explained in Section 21.1 "Coding for Computing with side information" (also see "Bibliographic Notes" on page 546) of the following book:
