_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Miller-Nicely data on the auditory confusion of 16 consonant
     phonemes.

     data("Phonemes")

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A symmetric matrix of the misclassification probabilities of 16
     English consonant phonemes.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Miller and Nicely (1955) obtained the confusions by exposing
     female subjects to a series of syllables consisting of one of the
     16 consonants followed by the vowel 'a' under 17 different
     experimental conditions.  The data provided are obtained from
     aggregating the six so-called flat-noise conditions in which only
     the speech-to-noise ratio was varied into a single matrix of
     misclassification frequencies.

_S_o_u_r_c_e:

     The data set is also contained in file 'mapclus.data' in the shell
     archive <URL: http://www.netlib.org/mds/mapclus.shar>.
