Ultrasound imaging of the tongue shape

Description

The 'ultrasound' data frame has 1,215 rows and 4 columns of data from an ultrasound experiment

Usage

data(ultrasound)

Details

A Russian speaker produced the consonant sequence, /gd/, in three different linguistic environments: '2words', 'cluster' and 'Schwa', with three replications for each environment. 15 points from each of 9 slices of toungue curves separated by 30 ms (milliseconds) are extracted. Therefore, in total there are 15*9*3*3=1,215 observations.

Format

The data frame contains the following columns:

height a numeric vector of toungue height in mm

length a numeric vector of toungue length in mm

time a numeric vector of time in ms

env a factor with three levels: 1 2 and 3 for environment '2words', 'cluster' and 'Schwa' respectively
