Two procedures for the calculation of forensic likelihood ratios were tested on the same set
of acoustic–phonetic data. One procedure was a multivariate kernel density procedure …

Non-contemporaneous speech samples from 27 male speakers of Australian English were
compared in a forensic likelihood-ratio framework. Parametric curves (polynomials and …

Across forensic speech science, the likelihood ratio (LR) is increasingly becoming accepted
as the logically and legally correct framework for the expression of expert conclusions …

The onset+ offset model of vowel inherent spectral change has been found to be effective for
vowel-phoneme identification, and not to be outperformed by more sophisticated parametric …

Earlier studies have indicated that information regarding speaker identity can be extracted
from the dynamic spectral properties of diphthongs. Some studies have conducted likelihood …

Within the field of forensic speech science there is increasing acceptance of the likelihood
ratio (LR) as the logically and legally correct framework for evaluating forensic voice …

The research presented in this thesis examines the calculation of numerical likelihood ratios
using phonetic and linguistic parameters derived from a corpus of recordings of speakers of …

This study investigates the dynamic acoustic properties of 19 vocalic sequences of Standard
Peninsular Spanish, showing their potential for forensic voice comparison. Parametric …

Previous research has shown that coarticulatory information in the signal orients listeners in
spoken word recognition, and that articulatory and perceptual dynamics closely parallel one …

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the phonetic-acoustic similarities and differences
in three main speaker groups: monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins and non-twin …
