Speaker selection

 

Diagram 2.5 establishes the distribution of errors across speakers. It indicates the quality of the test database , and shows that there may be fewer than 2 errors for 99% of the speakers (``sheep speakers'')  and about 10 for some ``goat speakers''. 

The two approaches described here (confusion matrix  and speaker selection) may be influenced by the fact that building databases can be biased, and should be carried out carefully.
