system is called a moving average model (MA)‚ and of course a model based on both inputs and outputs is an autoregressive-moving-average model (ARMA). Note that by definition‚ the AR model has only poles while the MA model has only zeros. Several methods and algorithms exist for calculating the coefficients of the AR model‚ all of which are implemented by the matlab command ’ar’. We use the default setting (’forward-backward’) to calculate the AR model for the vocal tract‚ with the following justifications:

Abstract Alvin “Tex” M. Johnston is one of aviation’s greats‚ from small town barn storming to aviation giants. In this paper I am going to talk about how a small town boy out of Kansas became one of the greatest pilots in aviation history.
