The speech signal is a consummate example of time-series data. The acoustics of the signal change over time, sometimes dramatically. Yet, the most common type of comparison we perform in phonetics is between instantaneous acoustic measurements, such as formant values. In the present paper, I discuss the concept of absement as a quantification of differences between two time-series. I then provide an experimental example of absement applied to phonetic analysis for human and/or computer speech recognition. The experiment is a template-based speech recognition task, using dynamic time warping to compare the acoustics between recordings of isolated words. A recognition accuracy of 57.9% was achieved. The results of the experiment are discussed in terms of using absement as a tool, as well as the implications of using acoustics-only models of spoken word recognition with the word as the smallest discrete linguistic unit.

Absement: Quantitative Assessment of Metabolic Cost during Quasi-Isometric Muscle Loading
For a quasi-static single-joint muscle model, metabolic cost is proved to equal P0T + C1ΔAℓ + C2∫(ℓ−ℓ0)²dt plus a cubic remainder, with ΔAℓ the time-integral of length deviation.
