The Wozencraft ensemble refers to a specific group of systems used in signal processing and information theory, particularly in the context of coding and communication. Named after the American computer scientist and engineer John Wozencraft, this ensemble is often used in discussions related to the performance of various coding schemes, especially in the theory of error correction. In information theory, ensembles typically involve collections of random variables or systems that are analyzed to derive general properties or to optimize performance metrics such as capacity or reliability.
