A Refinement of Expurgation
Abstract
We show that for a wide range of channels and code ensembles with pairwise-independent codewords, with probability tending to 1 with the code length, expurgating an arbitrarily small fraction of codewords from a randomly selected code results in a code attaining the expurgated exponent.
