ADAPTLOOP - Adaptation loops

Program code:

function inoutsig = adaptloop(inoutsig,fs,varargin);
%ADAPTLOOP   Adaptation loops
%   Usage: outsig = adaptloop(insig,fs,limit,minlvl,tau);
%          outsig = adaptloop(insig,fs,limit,minlvl);
%          outsig = adaptloop(insig,fs,limit);
%          outsig = adaptloop(insig,fs);
%
%   ADAPTLOOP(insig,fs,limit,minlvl,tau) applies non-linear adaptation to an
%   input signal insig sampled at a sampling frequency of fs Hz. limit is
%   used to limit the overshoot of the output, minlvl determines the lowest
%   audible threshhold of the signal (in dB SPL) and tau are time constants
%   involved in the adaptation loops. The number of adaptation loops is
%   determined by the length of tau.
%
%   ADAPTLOOP(insig,fs,limit,minlvl) does as above, but uses the values for
%   tau determined in Dau. et al (1996a).
%
%   ADAPTLOOP(insig,fs,limit) does as above with a minimum threshhold minlvl*
%   equal to 0 dB SPL.
%
%   ADAPTLOOP(insig,fs) does as above with an overshoot limit of limit=10.
%
%   ADAPTLOOP takes the following flags at the end of the line of input
%   arguments:
%
%     'adt_dau'        Choose the parameters as in the Dau 1996 and 1997
%                      models. This consists of 5 adaptation loops with
%                      an overshoot limit of 10 and a minimum level of
%                      1e-5. This is a correction in regard to the model
%                      described in Dau et al. (1996a), which did not use 
%                      overshoot limiting. The adaptation loops have an 
%                      exponential spacing. This flag is the default.
%
%     'adt_puschel'    Choose the parameters as in the original Puschel 1988
%                      model. This consists of 5 adaptation loops without
%                      overshoot limiting. The adapation loops have a linear spacing.
%
%     'adt_breebaart'  As 'puschel', but with overshoot limiting.
%
%     'dim',d          Do the computation along dimension d of the input.
