A mapping function is generated between subjective measures of audio signal quality, e.g., mean opinion score (MOS) or degradation MOS (DMOS) measures, and corresponding objective distortion measures, e.g., auditory speech quality measures (ASQMs) or perceptual speech quality measures (PSQMs), for known audio signals. The subjective measures and corresponding objective distortion measures are determined in accordance with modulated noise reference unit (MNRU) conditions or other suitable distortion conditions placed on the source speech, and a regression analysis is applied to the results to generate the mapping function. The mapping function may then be utilized, e.g., to evaluate speech quality of additional source speech from a particular speech coding system. In this case, the objective distortion measure is generated using the additional source speech, and the resulting objective measure is applied as an input to the mapping function to generate an estimate of the value of the subjective measure. Advantageously, the mapping function is database-independent, and can thus be used, e.g., to generate accurate estimates of subjective measures of speech quality for speech databases unrelated to those used in generating the mapping function.
