GFB_FILTER_NEW - Constructor of a cascaded gammatonefilter

Program code:

function filter = gfb_filter_new(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5)
%GFB_FILTER_NEW   Constructor of a cascaded gammatonefilter
%   Usage:  gfb_filter_new(a_tilde,gamma_filter_order);
%           gfb_filter_new(fs,fc,gamma_filter_order,bandwidth_factor);
%           gfb_filter_new(fs,fc,bw,attenuation_db,gamma_filter_order);
%
%   Input arguments:
%      a_tilde             : Complex filter constant
%      gamma_filter_order  : Gammatone filter order
%      fs                  : Sampling rate
%      fc                  : Centre frequency
%      a_tilde             : Complex filter constant
%      bandwidth_factor    : Bandwidth factor, default value is 1.0 
%      bw                  : Filter bandwidth (in Hz)
% 
%   GFB_FILTER_NEW(a_tilde,gamma_filter_order) specifies the complex
%   filter coefficients directly.
%
%   GFB_FILTER_NEW(fs,fc,gamma_filter_order,bandwidth_factor) computes
%   filter coefficient from sampling rate, center frequency, and order of
%   the gammatone filter.  The filters will have 1 ERB equivalent
%   rectangular bandwidth, times bandwidth_factor.  Filter coefficient are
%   computed from equations (13),(14)[Hohmann 2002].
%
%   GFB_FILTER_NEW(fs,fc,bw,attenuation_db,gamma_filter_order) Computes
%   the filter coefficients from the sampling rate, center frequency, the
%   desired bandwidth with respect to the given attenuation, and the order
%   of the gammatone filter. Filter coefficient are computed as in equations
%   (11),(12)[Hohmann 2002] (section 2.3).
