Abstract

An autocorrelation calculating part calculates autocorrelation R o (i) from an input signal. A predictive coefficient calculating part performs linear predictive analysis using modified autocorrelation. R′ o (i) obtained by multiplying the autocorrelation R o (i) by a coefficient w o (i). Here, a case is comprised where, for at least part of each order i, the coefficient w o (i) corresponding to each order i monotonically decreases as a value having positive correlation with a pitch gain in an input signal of a current frame or a past frame increases.
