function [aCoeff,resid,pitch,G,parcor,stream] = proclpc(data,sr,L,fr,fs,preemp)
% USAGE: [aCoeff,resid,pitch,G,parcor,stream] = proclpc(data,sr,L,fr,fs,preemp)
%
% This function computes the LPC (linear-predictive coding) coefficients that
% describe a speech signal. The LPC coefficients are a short-time measure of
% the speech signal which describe the signal as the output of an all-pole
% filter. This all-pole filter provides a good description of the speech
% articulators; thus LPC analysis is often used in speech recognition and
% speech coding systems. The LPC parameters are recalculated, by default in
% this implementation, every 20ms.
%
% The results of LPC analysis are a new representation of the signal
% s(n) = G e(n) - sum from 1 to L a(i)s(n-i)
% where s(n) is the original data. a(i) and e(n) are the outputs of the LPC
% analysis with a(i) representing the LPC model. The e(n) term represents
% either the speech source's excitation, or the residual: the details of the
% signal that are not captured by the LPC coefficients. The G factor is a
% gain term.
%
% LPC analysis is performed on a monaural sound vector (data) which has been
% sampled at a sampling rate of "sr". The following optional parameters modify
% the behaviour of this algorithm.
% L - The order of the analysis. There are L+1 LPC coefficients in the output
% array aCoeff for each frame of data. L defaults to 13.
% fr - Frame time increment, in ms. The LPC analysis is done starting every
% fr ms in time. Defaults to 20ms (50 LPC vectors a second)
% fs - Frame size in ms. The LPC analysis is done by windowing the speech
% data with a rectangular window that is fs ms long. Defaults to 30ms
% preemp - This variable is the epsilon in a digital one-zero filter which
% serves to preemphasize the speech signal and compensate for the 6dB
% per octave rolloff in the radiation function. Defaults to .9378.
%
% The output variables from this function are
% aCoeff - The LPC analysis results, a(i). One column of L numbers for each
% frame of data
% resid - The LPC residual, e(n). One column of sr*fs samples representing
% the excitation or residual of the LPC filter.
% pitch - A frame-by-frame estimate of the pitch of the signal, calculated
% by finding the peak in the residual's autocorrelation for each frame.
% G - The LPC gain for each frame.
% parcor - The parcor coefficients. The parcor coefficients give the ratio
% between adjacent sections in a tubular model of the speech
% articulators. There are L parcor coefficients for each frame of
% speech.
% stream - The LPC analysis' residual or excitation signal as one long vector.
% Overlapping frames of the resid output combined into a new one-
% dimensional signal and post-filtered.
%
% The synlpc routine inverts this transform and returns the original speech
% signal.
