the mesoscopic region is the regions far away from equilibrium points—which is really hard

This is also why Poincare invented topo.

MFA Disfluency Measurement

Last edited: August 8, 2025

Applying 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.

VariableAD (Pitt, ours)MCI (Wang)Control (ours)Control (Wang)
Silence Duration28.10 (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 Ratio1.79 (4.88)4.43 (2.78)5.78 (31.95)10.11 (6.05)
Verbal Rate1.59 (0.61)1.56 (0.40)1.989 (0.51)1.91 (0.43)

*speech duration would obviously vary with file length
