Linear Prediction

R2026b
Convert linear predictive coefficients (LPC) to cepstral coefficients, LSF, LSP, RC, and vice versa

Linear prediction estimates the future values of a discrete-time signal as a linear function of previous values. The Autocorrelation LPC block in DSP System Toolbox™ determines the coefficients of an N-step forward linear predictor. A linear predictor is an FIR filter that predicts the next value in a sequence from present and past inputs. For an example that shows this workflow, see Estimate Data Series Using Forward Linear Predictor. Linear prediction has applications in filter design, speech coding, spectral analysis, and system identification.

In digital signal processing, linear prediction is often called linear predictive coding (LPC). DSP System Toolbox offers Simulink® blocks to convert linear prediction coefficients to cepstral coefficients, reflection coefficients (RC), autocorrelation coefficients, line spectral frequencies (LSF), and vice versa.
