More Laws for Pauses: Aggregate Class Means for Speech Segmentation

Aggregate class means calculated for each participant at three pause classes (segmenting, before fill, after fill). The dataset was created by author Mezaraups, Taylor and was last updated on March 18, 2024. It is part of the 'More Laws for Pauses: Replication and Generalization' study.

Use Cases

• Analyzing pause duration patterns based on the three defined pause classes.
• Comparing aggregate participant means for speech segmentation tasks.
• Replicating and generalizing findings on the 'laws' governing pauses in speech.
• Investigating the relationship between filled pauses and surrounding silent pauses.

Strengths

• Data is structured around three specific pause classes (segmenting, before fill, after fill).
• Provides aggregate participant-level means, which may simplify analysis.
• Dataset is associated with a named replication and generalization study.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
