Re-optimisation of LPC filters for multi-pulse codedexcitation

For original paper, see D.P. Palomar et al., ibid., vol. 35, no. 13, pp. 1058-9 (1999). Palomar et al. addressed the question of LPC filter re-optimisation and proposed a recursive algorithm that they considered promising. The present commentator shows that the iterative algorithm employed by Palomar is unnecessarily complex because of poor initialisation. The algorithm that uses available speech data at the very first step is shown to perform well. The results of the one-shot algorithm can be used to initiate Paolmar's method to significantly reduce the number of iterations.
