Abstract

An autocorrelation calculation unit 21 calculates an autocorrelation R O (i) from an input signal. A prediction coefficient calculation unit 23 performs linear prediction analysis by using a modified autocorrelation R′ O (i) obtained by multiplying a coefficient w O (i) by the autocorrelation R O (i). It is assumed here, for each order i of some orders i at least, that the coefficient w O (i) corresponding to the order i is in a monotonically increasing relationship with an increase in a value that is negatively correlated with a fundamental frequency of the input signal of the current frame or a past frame.
