The resulting sum of two random variables is subject to basic rules of error propagation.

Simulation demonstrating the effect of fundamental peak position on standard deviation of measured fundamental period length. Circles show average simulated result using 100,000 random pulses. Line shows predicted values.

Effect of AN on measured HFPV in the synthetic voice. Horizontal axis is programmed HFPV level. Vertical axis is HFPV measured in synthetic voice when the original measured level of AN is added. AN seems to add about 0.2% to the HFPV measurement for the levels found in the voice set.

Horizontal axis is programmed AN level. Vertical axis is measured NSR in the synthetic voice when the original measured level of HFPV is added. HFPV seems to add about a 4 dB increment in NSR for the levels found in the voice set. Dashed line shows best linear fit.

Mean of listener-set aspiration noise in SABS experiments versus the measured original NSR. The listeners set AN levels 5 - 10 dB below measured, indicating original NSR includes more than AN effects. Dashed line shows best linear fit.

Mean of listener-set aspiration noise in SABS experiments versus NSR of voices with tremor removed. Agreement between SABS and measured NSR improves over Fig. 5.6. Dashed line shows best linear fit.

Mean of listener-set aspiration noise in SABS experiments versus NSR of voices with all AM and FM removed. Agreement between SABS and measured NSR improves further over Fig. 5.6. Dashed line shows best linear fit.
