For an optimized detector for digital signals the priority is not to reconstruct the transmitter signal, but it should do a best estimation of the transmitted data with the least possible amount of errors.
The receiver emulates the distorted channel. All possible transmitted data streams are fed into this distorted channel model. The receiver compares the time response with the actual received signal and deterimensdetermines the most likely signal.
E.g. [[root mean square deviation]] can be used as the decision criteria<ref>G. Bosco, P. Poggiolini, and M. Visintin, "Performance Analysis of MLSE Receivers Based on the Square-Root Metric," J. Lightwave Technol. 26, 2098-2109 (2008)</ref> for the lowest error probability.
