Troparion

Matlab tools for pathological voice analysis. Currently the toolset is under development.

What can be calculated using Troparion?

• Jitter::local
• Jitter::RAP
• Jitter::PPQ5
• Jitter::PPQ55
• Shimmer::local
• Shimmer::APQ3
• Shimmer::APQ5
• Shimmer::APQ11
• Shimmer::APQ55
• DPF – directional perturbation factor
• PFR – phonatory frequency range
• PPE - pitch period entropy (based on the work of Max A. Little)
• PVI - pathological vibrato index (original feature for ALS detection, see details in [Vashkevich-21])
• Suprasegmental MFCCs
• Harmonics parameters of sustain vowels (introduced in [Vashkevich-21])

An example of calculation of perturbation features can be found in feature_extraction_example.m.

Suprasegmantal MFCC

An example of calculation of suprasegmantal MFCC can be found in mfcc_example.m. The result of analysis is given below.
