TLDR
In a sample of dysphonic speakers (hypofunctional etiologies) versus typical speakers, spectral/cepstral measures of CPP and L/H ratio were able to differentiate these groups from one another in both vowel prolongation and continuous speech contexts with high sensitivity and specificity.Abstract:
Purpose In this study, the authors evaluated the diagnostic value of spectral/cepstral measures to differentiate dysphonic from nondysphonic voices using sustained vowels and continuous speech samp...read more

Cepstral peak prominence: A comprehensive analysis
TL;DR: The meaning of cepstral peak prominence (CPP) is very similar to that of the first rahmonic and some insights are provided on its dependence with fundamental frequency and vocal tract resonances.

Toward validation of the cepstral spectral index of dysphonia (CSID) as an objective treatment outcomes measure
Elizabeth A. Peterson,Nelson Roy,Shaheen N. Awan,Ray M. Merrill,Russell Banks,Kristine Tanner +5 more
TL;DR: A robust relationship between listener perceived and CSID-derived dysphonia severity estimates in sustained vowels and connected speech across diverse diagnoses and severity levels is confirmed and support the clinical utility of the CSID as an objective treatment outcomes measure.

Predicting Voice Disorder Status From Smoothed Measures of Cepstral Peak Prominence Using Praat and Analysis of Dysphonia in Speech and Voice (ADSV).
TL;DR: A single acoustic measure of CPPS was highly predictive of voice disorder status using either ADSV or Praat, and Clinicians may consider using CPPS to complement clinical voice evaluation and screening protocols.

A Comparison of Cepstral Peak Prominence Measures From Two Acoustic Analysis Programs
TL;DR: It is found that estimated cepstral peak prominence (CPP) values derived using regression equations could be transformed between programs with relatively small predictive error, regardless of language.

Exploring the Relationship Between Spectral and Cepstral Measures of Voice and the Voice Handicap Index (VHI)
TL;DR: Spectral and cepstral acoustic measures and the VHI should be viewed as providing relatively unique, meaningful, and complementary information in a large and diverse group of voice-disordered and control subjects.

Estimation of the Youden Index and its associated cutoff point.
TL;DR: This paper compares several estimation procedures for the Youden Index and its associated cutoff point and finds that the empirical method which is the most commonly used has the overall worst performance.

Analysis, synthesis, and perception of voice quality variations among female and male talkers
Dennis H. Klatt,Laura C. Klatt +1 more
TL;DR: Perceptual validation of the relative importance of acoustic cues for signaling a breathy voice quality has been accomplished using a new voicing source model for synthesis of more natural male and female voices.
