The paper shows that an adaptive weighted recursive least squares algorithm with a variable forgetting factor (WRLS-VFF) will adjust the size of the data segment to be analyzed according to its time-varying characteristics, as during the transitions between vowels and consonants. The algorithm can accurately estimate the vocal tract formants, anti-formants, and their bandwidths, be used for glottal inverse filtering, perform voiced (V)/unvoiced (U)/silent (S) classification of speech segments, estimate the input excitation (either white noise or periodic pulse trains), and estimate the instant of glottal closure. > |
