noun
noun: distortion; plural noun: distortions
  1. the action of distorting or the state of being distorted.
  2. the action of giving a misleading account or impression.
























































































































Example: 
without introducing the speech distortion due to the random
nature of noise and the inherent complexity of speech signal
Thus, it is necessary to consider the trade-off between noise
reduction and speech distortion in speech enhancement

Actions that can be taken to mitigate the detrimental impact of this distortion are also discussed.
This paper discusses the problem of the minimization of the distortion of a signal by a quantizer when the number of output levels of the quantizer is fixed

a parametric equalizer providing adjustable preselectable frequency bandwidth and a vacuum tube amplifier and support circuitry permitting adjustment of distortion of signal processed by the second channel by a preselected amount.
Within three nominal types of distortion effect (Overdrive, Distortion, and Fuzz), the "drive" setting of the effect was varied between minimum and maximum levels while adjusting the volume of the resulting sounds to maintain constant loudness. 



2. estimation

noun: estimation; plural noun: estimations

  1. a rough calculation of the value, number, quantity, or extent of something.




  2. a judgement of the worth or character of someone or something.

Breithaupt et al proposed a cepstral-domain smoothing method for estimation of a priori SNR 

Various aspects of maximum-likelihood estimation for the coefficients of a production function with an additive disturbance term of this sort are then considered
Many papers have over the last few years been devoted to the estimation and testing of long-run relations under the heading of cointegration
is here extended and used to develop estimation procedures, tests, and
empirical examples

The common approach to the multiplicity problem calls for controlling the familywise error 
rate (FWER)

 two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models

    I recommend that you include some examples of difficult verbs such as involve and constitute.
