Using MCMC as a Stochastic Optimization Procedure for Monophonic and Polyphonic Sound

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Based on a model of Davy and Godsill (2002) we describe a general model for time series from monophonic and polyphonic musical sound to estimate the pitch. The model is a hierarchical Bayes Model which will be estimated with MCMC methods. For parameter estimation an MCMC based stochastic optimization is introduced. A comparative study illustrates usefullness of the MCMC algorithm.
