The method is based on Eigenanalysis and SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) and performs artificial decimation for increased accuracy while it exploits the full set of data samples. The underlying model decomposes a signal into complex damped sinusoids whose frequencies, amplitudes, phases and damping factors are estimated. Correct estimation of Formant/Bandwidth values depend on the model order, thus the requested number of poles. Additionally, some selection criteria are applied regarding finer tracking and estimation of speech formants and their relevant bandwidths.", address = "Athens, Greece", booktitle = "Proc.
