Format

Each data frames has 6-21 observations and a subset of the following variables:

fi

Center frequency of SII band, Hz

li

Lower limit of frequency band, Hz

hi

Upper limit of frequency band, Hz

Deltai

Band width adjustment, dB

Ii

Band importance function

normal, raised, loud and shout

Standard spectrum levels for vocal effort levels "normal", "raised", "loud", and "shout", respectively, dB

Xi

Spectrum level of internal noise, dB

Fi

Band importance function (weight)

Details

These data objects provide constant tables 1 – 4 from the ANSI S3.5-1997.
