Table 6:
PEP analysis in the study stages of baseline and speech task for PTSD and non-PTSD participants. PEP values, in ms, were computed using the TEA and CEA. For both groups, PEP for the speech task was found to be lower than that of the baseline stage for both algorithms (p < 0.05) with larger effect size and higher AUC in TEA than in CEA. For difference in baseline and speech task, a higher PEP mean difference was observed, but it was not statistically significant in the PTSD (p = 0.3) and non-PTSD (p = 0.2) subgroups.
