regarded as having limited forensic value due to its large within-speaker variability.
However, its forensic use to date has been limited mostly to its long-term mean and standard
deviation. This paper examines the discriminatory potential, within a Likelihood Ratio-based
approach, of additional parametric features from the distribution of long-term F0: its skew,
kurtosis, modal F0 and modal density. Motivated by the observation that the overall long …
