%LAVANDIER2022 Compute the binaural 'effective' target-to-interferer ratio
% Usage: [twoears_benefit, weighted_bmld, weighted_better_ear] = lavandier2022(target_in,int_in,fs)
%
% Input parameters:
% target_in : target
% int_in : interferer
% fs : sampling frequency [Hz]
%
% Output parameters:
% twoears_benefit : effective target to interferer ratio
% weighted_bmld : weighted binaural masking level difference
% weighted_better_ear : weighted better ear advantage
%
% LAVANDIER2022 computes the binaural 'effective' target-to-interferer ratio.
% target_in and int_in are signals produced at the ears: stereo files
% (2-column matrices) of the same sampling frequency fs
