LR estimation using long term F0 as a parameter: good, bad or useless? Initial investigation using Japanese data
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates the validity of LR estimation for long-term F0 using Aitkin (1995)’s formula. Although this formula has been developed to estimate the LR of reflective index of glass fragments, previous studies such as Kinoshita (2001) and Rose, Osanai, and Kinoshita (2003) have shown that Aitkin’s formula can be applied to speech data. The experiments in this study revealed, however, that it is not suitable for LR estimation when the long-term F0 is used as the speaker identification parameter. Other avenues for using F0 are suggested.

Varying coefficient Models are among the most important tools for discovering the dynamic patterns when a fixed pattern does not fit adequately well on the data, due to existing diverse temporal or local patterns. These models are natural extensions of classical parametric models that have achieved great popularity in data analysis with good interpretability.The high flexibility and interpretab...
متن کاملBeyond the long-term mean: exploring the potential of F0 distribution parameters in traditional forensic speaker recognition
Despite its many prima facie attractive properties for Forensic Speaker Recognition, F0 is regarded as having limited forensic value due to its large within-speaker variability. However, its forensic use to date has been limited mostly to its long-term mean and standard deviation. This paper examines the discriminatory potential, within a Likelihood Ratio-based approach, of additional parametri...

In this paper a new four-parameter lifetime distribution named “the exponentiated Lomax – Rayleigh (E-LR) distribution” has been suggested that it has an increasing hazard rate for modeling lifetime data. The Lomax distribution has applications in economics, actuarial modelling, reliability modeling, lifetime and queuing problems and biological sciences. In this paper Firstly, the mathematical ...
متن کاملHow many do we need? exploration of the population size effect on the performance of forensic speaker classification
This paper investigates how change in population size affects the reliability of the likelihood ratio (LR)-based forensic speaker classification. Using features of the long term F0 distribution, we performed LR-based speaker classification and examined its performance with population sizes from 10 to 120. The results revealed that LRs could be heavily influenced by the population data. We disco...
