The features are often short-time features with time frames of 10-30ms, although several characteristics of music require larger time scales. Thus, larger time frames are needed to take informative decisions about musical genre. For the {MIREX} music genre contest several authors derive long time features based either on statistical moments and/or temporal structure in the short time features. In our contribution we model a segment (1.2 s) of short time features (texture) using a multivariate autoregressive model. Other authors have applied simpler statistical models such as the mean-variance model, which also has been included in several of this years {MIREX} submissions, see e.g. Tzanetakis (2005); Burred (2005); Bergstra et al. (2005); Lidy and Rauber (2005)." }
