Table 3 Acoustic parameters.
Abbreviation | Description | Category | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
Dur (s) | Duration of the call | Duration | |
AmpVar (dB/s) | Amplitude variation; cumulative variation in amplitude divided by the total call duration | Amplitude modulation | |
AmpModRate (s-1) | Amplitude modulation rate; number of complete cycles of amplitude modulation per second | ||
AmpModExtent (dB) | Amplitude modulation extent; mean peak-to-peak variation of each amplitude modulation | ||
Q25% (Hz) | Frequency value at the upper limit of the first quartiles of energy | Spectrum (energy distribution) | |
Q50% (Hz) | Spectral center of gravity; frequency value at the upper limit of the second quartiles of energy | ||
Q75% (Hz) | Frequency value at the upper limit of the third quartiles of energy | ||
FPeak (Hz) | Frequency of peak amplitude | ||
Harmonicity | Degree of acoustic periodicity, also called harmonic-to-noise ratio—higher values indicate more tonal calls | Tonality/noise | |
WienEntropy | Wiener entropy; spectral flatness of a sound, calculated as the ratio of a power spectrum's geometric mean to its arithmetic mean measured on a logarithmic scale—higher values indicate more noisy calls |
