TY - JOUR A1 - Ghaffarvand Mokari, Payam A1 - Sardhaei, Nasim Mahdinezhad T1 - Predictive power of cepstral coefficients and spectral moments in the classification of Azerbaijani fricatives T2 - The journal of the Acoustical Society of America N2 - This study compares the classification of Azerbaijani fricatives based on two sets of features: (a) spectral moments, spectral peak, amplitude, duration, and (b) cepstral coefficients employing Hidden Markov Models to divide each fricative into three regions such that the variances of the measures within each region are minimized. The cepstral coefficients were found to be more reliable predictors in the classification of all nine Azerbaijani fricatives and the cepstral measures yielded highly successful classification rates (91.21% across both genders) in the identification of the full set of fricatives of Azerbaijani.
