Description:
Computes and compares multiple measures of separation and overlap between phonological categories (for example vowels or consonants) in arbitrary multi-dimensional acoustic spaces such as formant values, mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), duration, or learned embeddings. The main entry point, phontrast(), reports several contrast metrics in one call – Jensen-Shannon divergence and distance (Lin, 1991) <doi:10.1109/18.61115>, the Pillai-Bartlett trace, Bhattacharyya distance and affinity, Mahalanobis distance, and proportional overlap – globally or by group on a common separation-oriented scale, with bootstrap confidence intervals. Also provides utilities for preparing estimates for downstream modelling such as generalized additive models and mixed-effects models. Formerly released as 'phonJSD'.
