TABLE II.

Statistical quantities computed from the current normal (symmetric) laryngeal model compared to typical ranges reported by previous studies. F0 is the fundamental frequency; Qmax and Qmean are the peak and mean glottal flow rate, respectively; τ0 is the open quotient, defined as τ0=T0/T, where T0 is the duration of glottal open phase; τs is the skewness quotient, defined as τs=Tp/Tn where Tp is the duration of the glottal acceleration phase and Tn is the duration of the glottal deceleration phase.

  Computed Typical
  Value Range
F0 (Hz) 243.5 65–260 (Zemlin, 1988)
Qmax (ml/s) 299.65 200–580 (Hertegard et al., 1992)
Qmean (ml/s) 147.55 110–220 (Zemlin, 1988)
τ0 0.67 0.4–0.7 (Titze, 2000)
τs 1.19 1.1–3.4 (Ishizaka and Flanagan, 1972; Lamar et al., 2003; Duncan et al., 2006)
