Advanced Techniques in LPC Analysis

Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) is a technique for modeling audio signals using a linear combination of past samples and a source signal. By applying the Z-transform, this can be expressed as a transfer function. The goal of LPC is to minimize the error between the original and predicted signals. This is achieved by solving the Wiener-Hopf equations to find the prediction coefficients. LPC can be used for infinite memory prediction by applying a whitening process. The prediction coefficients are typically computed using the autocorrelation or covariance methods. LPC has applications in speech coding/synthesis, pitch prediction, computer music, and spectral envelope estimation.
