Abstract

Multifractal behavior in the cepstrum representation of healthy and unhealthy infant cry signals is examined by means of wavelet leaders and compared using the Student t-test. The empirical results show that both expiration and inspiration signals exhibit clear evidence of multifractal properties under healthy and unhealthy conditions. In addition, expiration and inspiration signals exhibit more complexity under healthy conditions than under unhealthy conditions. Furthermore, distributions of multifractal characteristics are different across healthy and unhealthy conditions. Hence, this study improves the understanding of infant crying by providing a complete description of its intrinsic dynamics to better evaluate its health status.
