baumgartner2014_binauralweighting - - Binaural combination of monaural similarity estimates

Program code:

function sibin = baumgartner2014_binauralweighting(simon,varargin)
%baumgartner2014_binauralweighting - Binaural combination of monaural similarity estimates
%   Usage:     sibin = baumgartner2014_binauralweighting(simon)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     simon   : monaural similarity indices
%
%   Output parameters:
%     sibin   : monaural similarity indices
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014_BINAURALWEIGHTING(...) combines the monaural
%   similarity indices to binaural similartiy indices while accounting for
%   ipsilateral predominance.
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014_BINAURALWEIGHTING accepts the following optional parameters:
%
%     'bwcoef',bwc   Set the binaural weighting coefficient bwc.
%                    Default value is 13 degrees.
%
%     'lat',lat      Set the apparent lateral angle of the target sound to
%                    lat. Default value is 0 degree (median SP).
