%BAUMGARTNER2013 Model for sound localization in sagittal planes
%   Usage:    pmv = baumgartner2013( target,template )
%             [pmv,respang,tang] = baumgartner2013(target,template,u,lat,flow,fhigh,stim,fsstim,polsamp)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     target  : binaural impulse response(s) referring to the directional 
%               transfer function(s) (DFTs) of the target sound(s). 
%               Option 1: given in SOFA format -> sagittal plane DTFs will 
%               be extracted internally. 
%               Option 2: binaural impulse responses of all available
%               listener-specific DTFs of the sagittal plane formated 
%               according to the following matrix dimensions: 
%               time x direction x channel/ear
%     template: listener-specific template. 
%               Options 1 & 2 equivalent to target*
%
%   Output parameters:
%     pmv     : predicted probability mass vectors for response angles 
%               with respect to target positions.
%               1st dim: response angle.
%               2nd dim: target angle.
%     respang : polar response angles (after regularization of angular 
%               sampling)
%     tang    : polar target angles in the given sagittal plane
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2013(...) is a model for sound-source localization in
%   sagittal planes (SPs). It bases on the comparison of internal sound 
%   representation with a template and results in a probabilistic
%   prediction of polar angle response.
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2013 accepts the following key/value pairs:
%
%     'fs',fs        Define the sampling rate of the impulse responses. 
%                    Default value is 48000 Hz.
%
%     'stim',stim    Define the stimulus (source signal without directional
%                    features). As default an impulse is used.
%
%     'fsstim',fss   Define the sampling rate of the stimulus. 
%                    Default value is 48000 Hz.
%
%     'flow',flow    Set the lowest frequency in the filterbank to
%                    flow. Default value is 700 Hz.
%
%     'fhigh',fhigh  Set the highest frequency in the filterbank to
%                    fhigh. Default value is 18000 Hz.
%
%     'lat',lat      Set the perceived lateral angle of the target sound to
%                    lat. Default value is 0 deg (midsagittal plane).
%
%     'u',u          Set the listener-specific uncertainty (standard
%                    deviation of the Gaussian transformation from the
%                    distance metric of the comparison process to the
%                    similarity index) to u. Default value is 2 dB.
%
%     'space',s      Set spacing of auditory filter bands to s numbers of
%                    equivalent rectangular bandwidths (ERBs). 
%                    Default value is 1 ERB.
%
%     'bwsteep',bws  Set the steepness factor bws of the sigmoid function 
%                    applied for binaural weighting of monaural similarity 
%                    indices. Default value is 13 deg.
%
%     'polsamp',ps   Define the the polar angular sampling of the current
%                    SP. As default the sampling of ARI's HRTF format along
%                    the midsagittal plane is used, i.e.,
%                    ps = [-30:5:70,80,100,110:5:210].
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2013 accepts the following flags:
%
%     'gammatone'    Use the Gammatone filterbank for peripheral processing. 
%                    This is the default.
%
%     'langendijk2002_spectralanalysis'        Use a filterbank approximation based on DFT with 
%                    constant relative bandwidth for peripheral processing. 
%                    This was used by Langendijk and Bronkhorst (2002).
%
%     'ihc'          Incorporate the transduction model of inner hair 
%                    cells used by Dau et al. (1996). This is the default.
%
%     'noihc'        Do not incorporate the IHC stage.
%
%     'regular'      Apply spline interpolation in order to regularize the 
%                    angular sampling of the polar response angle. 
%                    This is the default.
%
%     'noregular'    Disable regularization of angular sampling.
