Abstract
The autocorrelation method of linear prediction is formulated in the time, autocorrelation, and spectral domains. The analysis is shown to be that of approximating the short-time signal power spectrum by an all-pole spectrum. The method is compared with other methods of spectral analysis such as analysis-by-synthesis and cepstral smoothing. It is shown that this method can be regarded as another method of analysis-by-synthesis where a number of poles is specified, with the advantages of noniterative computation and an error measure which leads to a better spectral envelope fit for an all-pole spectrum. Compared to spectral analysis by cepstral smoothing in conjunction with the chirp z transform (CZT), this method is expected to give a better spectral envelope fit (for an all-pole spectrum) and to be less sensitive to the effects of high pitch on the spectrum. The normalized minimum error is defined and its possible usefulness as a voicing detector is discussed.
