Evaluation of Analytical Modeling Functions for the Phonation Onset Process

Figure 4

Normalized glottal area waveform of the word [‘mama] representing a female subject. Onset, offset, and central moving average cma (red) over normalized first syllable and saturation amplitude are depicted. The cma (red) starts at the fifth peak because (1) the first two peaks are excluded from cma calculation because there is no glottal closure before (Section 2.6) and (2) the kernel size of the cma is five.
