Last edited: August 8, 2025Applying the MFA aligner upon the Pitt (cookie only) data and performing statistics upon the calculated disfluency information. The ultimate goal is to replicate Wang 2019.
The code is available here.
The (unvalidated, draft) results are reported below:
Mean value reported, standard deviation in parens. For our data, \(N=422\), cases balanced.
| Variable | AD (Pitt, ours) | MCI (Wang) | Control (ours) | Control (Wang) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silence Duration | 28.10 (21.28) | 13.55 (5.53) | 18.06 (12.52) | 7.71 (5.03) |
| Speech Duration* | 23.77 (14.11) | 46.64 (5.79) | 27.23 (15.3) | 53.63 (7.82) |
| Voice-Silence Ratio | 1.79 (4.88) | 4.43 (2.78) | 5.78 (31.95) | 10.11 (6.05) |
| Verbal Rate | 1.59 (0.61) | 1.56 (0.40) | 1.989 (0.51) | 1.91 (0.43) |
*speech duration would obviously vary with file length
