VICENTE2020_BUADVANTAGE - calculates the bmld advantage

Program code:

function [weighted_BUAdv,BUAdv_perFB] = vicente2020_buadvantage(fs, fc, MaskerSig, TargetLeftSpectrum, TargetRightSpectrum, TargetIPD, InternalNoise_L, InternalNoise_R, weightings)
%VICENTE2020_BUADVANTAGE calculates the bmld advantage
%   Usage: [weighted_BUAdv,BUAdv_perFB] = vicente2020_buadvantage(fs, fc, MaskerSig, TargetLeftSpectrum, TargetRightSpectrum, TargetIPD, InternalNoise_L, InternalNoise_R, weightings)
%
%   VICENTE2020_BUADVANTAGE computes the SII-weighted BU advantage in all frequency bands centered at fc, 
%   considering the audiogram.
