DATA_MIDDLEBROOKS1999 - Statistics about non-individualized HRTFs

Program code:

function data = data_middlebrooks1999
%DATA_MIDDLEBROOKS1999 Statistics about non-individualized HRTFs
%   Usage: data = data_middlebrooks1999
%
%   Output parameters:
%     data.qe_own   : quadrant error rate (QE) when localizing with own
%                     HRTFs
%     data.qe_other : QE when localizing with others' HRTFs
%     data.pe_own   : local polar RMS error (PE) when localizing with own
%                     HRTFs
%     data.pe_other : PE when localizing with others' HRTFs
%     data.pb_own   : magnitude of polar bias (PB) when localizing with own
%                     HRTFs; upper-rear quadrant excluded from analysis
%     data.pb_other : PB when localizing with others' HRTFs
%
%   DATA_MIDDLEBROOKS1999 returns statistics summary from Fig. 13
%   (Middlebrooks, 1999b) showing the effect of non-individualized HRTFs.
%
%   Statistics of those parameters are stored as .mean and .quantiles*
%   representing the arithmetic mean and {0,5,25,50,75,95,100} quantiles,
%   respectively.
