Response to Aichinger and Kubin Re: Letter to the Editor “Acoustic and Perceptual Classification of Within-Sample Normal, Intermittently Dysphonic, and Consistently Dysphonic Voice Types”

Thanks to Drs Aichinger and Kubin for their consideration of our recent article "Acoustic and Perceptual Classification of Within-sample Normal, Intermittently Dysphonic, and Consistently Dysphonic Voice Types" and for their interesting comments. Our study was an initial attempt at using measures of the cepstral peak prominence (CPP) distribution to identify intermittently dysphonic samples that can be difficult to accurately classify both perceptually and acoustically. In addition to examination of the moments of the CPP distribution (mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis), we also considered measures for the detection of extreme CPP values used in statistical process control and measures of the relative percentage of dysphonia duration in our analyses.
