An arrangement for generating an error signal representing the differences between an input signal voltage level (xpk, xnk) and an estimated value (rp, rn) for the input signal voltage level comprises first (T1, T2) and second (T5, T6) transconductors and a differencing circuit (T3, T4, T7, T8) which forms the modulus of the difference between the outputs of the transconductors. The error signal is converted into a probability signal by subtracting the error signal from a constant signal (408) to produce a signal at the output (407) which is a maximum when the input voltage level and estimated voltage level are equal.
