lpc: Linear Predictive Coding

In phonTools: Tools for Phonetic and Acoustic Analyses

Description

Predict autoregressive filter coefficients.

Usage

lpc (sound, order = round(fs/1000)+3, fs = 10000, show = FALSE, 
add = FALSE, preemph = TRUE)

Arguments

sound	Either a numeric vector representing a sequence of samples taken from a sound wave or a sound object created with the loadsound() or makesound() functions.
order	The number of LPC coefficients to be estimated. By default there is 2 per kHz below the Nyquist frequency plus 3 extra coefficients.
fs	The sampling frequency in Hz. If a sound object is passed this does not need to be specificed.
show	If TRUE, the frequency response of the estimated filter is plotted.
add	If TRUE, the frequency response plot is added to an existing plot.
preemph	If TRUE, preemphasis of 3 dB per octave is applied to the sound before analysis.

Details

LPC coefficients are estimated using the autocorrelation method. The signal is windowed with a Hanning window prior to analysis.

Value

A vector containing the LPC coefficients is returned.

Examples

## make a synthetic vowel with a known set of formant frequencies
sound = vowelsynth (ffs = c(500,1500,2500,3500,4500), 
fbw = c(30, 80, 150, 200, 220),f0 = 100, dur = 250)

## let the LPC function estimate the filter used to generate the vowel
coeffs = lpc (sound, show = TRUE)
