Apparatus for detecting a fundamental frequency in speech by statistically analyzing a discriminant variable generated by a discriminant voiced detector (102) so as to determine the presence of the fundamental frequency in achanging speech environment. A statistical calculator (103) is responsive to thediscriminant variable to first calculate the average of all of the values of thediscriminant variable over the present and past speech frames and then to determine the overall probability that any frame will be unvoiced. In addition, the calculator informs two values, one value represents the statistical average of discriminant values that an unvoiced frame's discriminant variable would have and the other value represents the statistical average of the discriminant values for voice frames. These latter calculations are performed utilizing not only the average discriminant value but also a weight value and a threshold value which are adaptively determined by a threshold calculator (104) from frame to frame. An unvoiced/voiced determinator (105) makes the unvoiced/voiced decision by utilizing the weight and threshold values. (FIG. 1)
