--_000_E5DAE5073293974E8EF047753FE21BA102D3C1MBXP10dsmanacuk_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello all I'm looking for an explanation of how canonical variable (CV) scores by fre= quency band (CVL, CVM, CVH) are calculated by the Four Alternative Auditory= Feature test (FAAF; Foster & Haggard, 1987). CV scores 'indicate the use o= f low, medium and high frequency information', providing weighted error sco= res according to frequency region. I have Foster & Haggard's (1987) BJA article about the FAAF. Though this a= rticle mentions CV scoring, it promises more detailed discussion of them in= future (?) publications. I also have a 1986 IHR report by Foster & Haggard= on the FAAF, which has the most detailed description of how CV scores are = calculated (involving discriminant function analysis), but its not quite de= tailed enough. The report refers to a relevant Gatehouse paper which contai= ns a description of CV score calculation, though this doesn't seem to have = made it to press (titled "Effects of asymmetric conductive hearing loss on = auditory disability with various orientations of signal and noise"). Any assistance would be much appreciated Best wishes piers Piers Dawes PhD Audiology and Deafness Research Group School of Psychological Sciences Ellen Wilkinson Building University of Manchester Manchester M13 9PL Tel: +44 (0)161 30 61758 --_000_E5DAE5073293974E8EF047753FE21BA102D3C1MBXP10dsmanacuk_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-micr= osoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:x=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:p=3D"urn:schemas-m= icrosoft-com:office:powerpoint" xmlns:a=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office= :access" xmlns:dt=3D"uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882" xmlns:s=3D"= uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882" xmlns:rs=3D"urn:schemas-microsof= t-com:rowset" xmlns:z=3D"#RowsetSchema" xmlns:b=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-co= m:office:publisher" xmlns:ss=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadshee= t" xmlns:c=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:component:spreadsheet" xmlns= :odc=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:odc" xmlns:oa=3D"urn:schemas-micro= soft-com:office:activation" xmlns:html=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" = xmlns:q=3D"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:rtc=3D"http://m= icrosoft.com/officenet/conferencing" xmlns:D=3D"DAV:" xmlns:Repl=3D"http://= schemas.microsoft.com/repl/" xmlns:mt=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/share= point/soap/meetings/" xmlns:x2=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/excel= /2003/xml" xmlns:ppda=3D"http://www.passport.com/NameSpace.xsd" xmlns:ois= =3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/ois/" xmlns:dir=3D"http://= schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/directory/" xmlns:ds=3D"http://www.w3= .org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:dsp=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint= /dsp" xmlns:udc=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/data/udc" xmlns:xsd=3D"http= ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:sub=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sha= repoint/soap/2002/1/alerts/" xmlns:ec=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#"= xmlns:sp=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" xmlns:sps=3D"http://= schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" xmlns:xsi=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001= /XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:udcs=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/data/udc/so= ap" xmlns:udcxf=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/data/udc/xmlfile" xmlns:udc= p2p=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/data/udc/parttopart" xmlns:wf=3D"http:/= /schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/workflow/" xmlns:dsss=3D"http://sche= mas.microsoft.com/office/2006/digsig-setup" xmlns:dssi=3D"http://schemas.mi= crosoft.com/office/2006/digsig" xmlns:mdssi=3D"http://schemas.openxmlformat= s.org/package/2006/digital-signature" xmlns:mver=3D"http://schemas.openxmlf= ormats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.c= om/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns:mrels=3D"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/pa= ckage/2006/relationships" xmlns:spwp=3D"http://microsoft.com/sharepoint/web= partpages" xmlns:ex12t=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/20= 06/types" xmlns:ex12m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/200= 6/messages" xmlns:pptsl=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/Sli= deLibrary/" xmlns:spsl=3D"http://microsoft.com/webservices/SharePointPortal= Server/PublishedLinksService" xmlns:Z=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" xmlns:= st=3D"&#1;" xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dus-ascii"= > <meta name=3D"Generator" content=3D"Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"> <style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @xxxxxxxx {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:windowtext;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only;} @xxxxxxxx WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--> </head> <body lang=3D"EN-GB" link=3D"blue" vlink=3D"purple"> <div class=3D"WordSection1"> <p class=3D"MsoNormal">Hello all<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal">I&#8217;m looking for an explanation of how canonica= l variable (CV) scores by frequency band (CVL, CVM, CVH) are calculated by = the Four Alternative Auditory Feature test (FAAF; Foster &amp; Haggard, 198= 7).
