We consider uncertainty classes of noise distributions defined by a bound on the divergence with respect to a nominal noise distribution. The noise that maximizes the minimum error probability for binary-input channels is found. The effect of the reduction in uncertainty brought about by knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio is also studied. The particular class of Gaussian nominal distributions provides an analysis tool for near-Gaussian channels. The asymptotic behavior of the least favorable noise distribution and the resulting error probability are studied in a variety of scenarios, namely: asymptotically small divergence with and without power constraint; asymptotically large divergence with and without power constraint; and asymptotically large signal-to-noise ratio
