Symmetry between linear predictive coding and composite sinusoidal modeling

Abstract

AbstractAn elegant relationship (here called symmetry) between the linear predictive coding (LPC) analysis and the composite sinusoidal modeling (CSM) analysis is described. The objective is to provide a systematic view of the theory of voice spectral modeling such as LPC, PARCOR, CSM, and line spectral pairs (LSP). All of these methods of analysis are reduced to the problems of deriving the model parameters for lower‐order autocorrelation functions equal to the number of degrees of freedom of the model. From the point of view of the theory of orthogonal polynomials, LPC and CSM are the theory of orthogonal polynomials of a unit circle (in the case of LPC) and on the real axis (in the case of CSM). Beautiful symmetries hold in regard to the formulation, definition of various parameters, and solution algorithm. Also, a new interpretation is given here for the LSP from the point of view of orthogonal polynomials. © 2002 Scripta Technica, Electron Comm Jpn Pt 3, 85(6): 42–54, 2002
