Implement pause length metrics #11

@clarkenj

Description

@clarkenj

Linked to #2.

Potential features:

  • Average pause length
  • Ratio of short to long pauses?
  • Percentage of pauses which are short or long?

References (PPA):

  • Baqué & Machuca (2023): dense results, but found differences in pause duration between PPA substypes and controls.
  • Ossewaarde et al. (2024): nfvPPA speakers use more short pauses relative to long pauses than control speakers, and the duration of short and long pauses is longer; svPPA speakers use more longer pauses relative to short pauses.

May be less important in AD:

  • Lofgren & Hinzen (2022): In both mild and moderate AD, pause frequency was different from controls but not duration (manual coding). Also looked at syntactic position of pauses.
