A statistical framework applicable to Ring-LWE was outlined by Murphy and Player (IACR eprint 2019/452). Its applicability was demonstrated with an analysis of the decryption failure probability for degree-1 and degree-2 ciphertexts in the homomorphic encryption scheme of Lyubashevsky, Peikert and Regev (IACR eprint 2013/293). In this paper, we clarify and extend results presented by Murphy and Player. Firstly, we make precise the approximation of the discretisation of a Normal random variable as a Normal random variable, as used in the encryption process of Lyubashevsky, Peikert and Regev. Secondly, we show how to extend the analysis given by Murphy and Player to degree-k ciphertexts, by precisely characterising the distribution of the noise in these ciphertexts.
