TLDR
Identifying acoustic consistencies in prosodic control among speakers with DYS provides the impetus to build vocalization recognition algorithms that are capable of processing dysarthric speech for use in assistive communication aids.Abstract:
Studies of prosodic control in severe dysarthria (DYS) have focused on differences between impaired and nonimpaired speech in terms of the range and variation of fundamental frequency (F0), intensi...read more

Development of The Viking Speech Scale to classify the speech of children with cerebral palsy
Lindsay Pennington,Daniel Virella,Tone R. Mjøen,Maria da Graça Andrada,Janice Murray,Allan Colver,Kate Himmelmann,Gija Rackauskaite,Andra Greitane,Audrone Prasauskiene,Guro L. Andersen,Javier De La Cruz +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Viking Speech Scale is a reliable tool to describe the speech performance of children with cerebral palsy, which can be applied through direct observation of children or through case note review.

Predicting Speech Intelligibility with a Multiple Speech Subsystems Approach in Children with Cerebral Palsy.
TL;DR: Speech intelligibility in children with cerebral palsy was evaluated using a prediction model in which acoustic measures were selected to represent three speech subsystems; the articulatory subsystem showed the most substantial independent contribution to speech intelligibility.

Acoustic characterization of the question-statement contrast in 4, 7 and 11 year-old children
Rupal Patel,Maria I. Grigos +1 more
TL;DR: An age-related pattern is evident in that children employ different combinations of acoustic cues to mark the question–statement contrast across development, and the impact of motor and cognitive-linguistic complexity on the development of prosodic control is discussed.

Acoustic and Perceptual Cues to Contrastive Stress in Dysarthria
Rupal Patel,Pamela J. Campellone +1 more
TL;DR: Acoustic predictors of listener accuracy included heightened prosodic cues on stressed words along with marked decreases in these variables for neighboring nonstressed words and relative changes in one or more prosodic cue.

Exemplar-based sparse representation of timbre and prosody for voice conversion
TL;DR: This work proposes an exemplarbased sparse representation of timbre and prosody for voice conversion that does not necessitate separately timbre conversion and Prosody conversions and shows that the proper conversion of prosody features will improve the quality and speaker identity of the converted speech.

The meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
TL;DR: A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models
Kung Yee Liang,Scott L. Zeger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.

Statistical methods for rates and proportions
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is used to detect a difference between two different proportions of a given proportion in a single proportion.
