Abstract
Estimation of the residual noise in the auditory brain-stem response w aveform is considered. The residual noise measures one aspect of wavef orm quality. Moreover, it is an important component of signal detectio n algorithms used for automatic termination of the test. It is shown t hat the most commonly used method for estimating residual noise can be severely biased. Reasons for this bias are explored and two alternati ve estimators are presented.
