Abstract
A Markov model due to Gilbert and Elliott is used for describing error
bursts in transmission channels. We compute several quality measures
of the CCITT for digital transmission in terms of the parameters of the Markov
model. Computer algebra turns out to be useful for manipulation of
large formulae, for Taylor expansion and for handling special functions.
