Abstract
Statistical relationships among F<sub>1</sub> F<sub>2</sub> and F<sub>3</sub> in vowel segments in continuous speech were investigated with 909 vowel samples from Japanese sentences uttered by 4 adult male speakers. Determined by minimizing the square errors from the measured F<sub>3</sub>, two separate planes corresponding to front and back vowels are situated in the F<sub>1</sub>F<sub>2</sub>F<sub>3</sub> space to obtain the F<sub>3</sub> values estimated from F<sub>1</sub> and F<sub>2</sub>. Estimation errors are found to be comparable to difference limens in hearing. Also, uniform/nonuniform formant frequency scaling is discussed in terms of physical differences in the planes for individual speakers.
