Abstract:
One of the most common ways of assessing voice quality is through the spectral slope measure H1*-H2*. However, Chai and Garellek [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 152(3), 1856-1870 (2022)] propose and demonstrate the robustness of a new measure-residual H1*. In this study, we test the reliability of residual H1* in capturing voice quality contrasts in Santiago Laxopa Zapotec. We find that residual H1* is a more robust measure of voice quality than H1*-H2* and can capture the differences in voice quality in Santiago Laxopa Zapotec, which supports the use of this measure in voice quality research.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
