Wang {semds}

Consonant Confusions in Noise

Description

In this data set by Wang and Bilger (1973), the same consonant phonemes considered as in Miller & Nicely (1955), except that "m"" and "n"" are substituted for "tS" as in "cheap", and "d3" as in "jeep"", were combined with each of the three vowels /i,a,u/ under six speach-to-noise ratios. To obtain dissimilarities, the normalization approach proposed in Hubert (1972) was applied.

Usage
