Most of the solutions available in the literature, model the correlation noise between the original frame and the so-called side information by virtual channel. However most of the DVC solutions in the literature assume Laplacian distribution as noise virtual channel model, in this study we perform three goodness-of-fit tests, the Kolmogorov- Smirnov test and the Chi-Square test and log-Likelihood test to study the nature of the virtual channel. The results show that a mixture of 3 (or 4) mixture Gaussian model can best describe this virtual channel. {\^A}{\copyright} School of Engineering, Taylor's University.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-80051514389&partnerID=40&md5=ed95f548283051f97fadcf8831f4c4dd} }
