Abstract
The present paper deals with the evaluation of large-scale listening tests and with the detection of unaccountable or unreliable answers for each listener. The iterative maximum likelihood estimation scheme is proposed and its abilities are demonstrated and discussed on data collected from a large-scale listening test which was carried out with the aim to collect reference material capturing human perception of similarity of suprasegmental speech units.
