pyampact.speechDescriptorsUtils.compute_dpi

pyampact.speechDescriptorsUtils.compute_dpi(snd, pitch, intensity, intensity_thresh, time_step=0.01, min_pause_dur=0.15)[source]

Compute Duration of Pause Intervals (DPI).

Parameters:

  • snd (Praat Sound Object) – Parselmouth/Praat Sound Object

  • pitch (Praat Pitch Object) – Parselmouth/Praat Pitch Object

  • intensity (Praat Intensity Object) – time delay (in samples)

  • intensity_thresh (int) – dB SPL threshold for silence

  • time_step (float) – analysis step in seconds; default = 0.01

  • min_pause_dur (float) – minimum pause duration to count (sec); default = 0.15

Returns:

  • pause_durations (array) – list of pause durations (s)

  • mean_dpi (float) – average pause duration
