Go to function

MCLACHLAN2021_METRICS - - extract localization metrics

Usage

metric = mclachlan2021_metrics(doa)

Input parameters

doa Struct returned from the mclachlan2021 model with estimated and real directions of arrival

Output parameters

metric metrics for evaluation of localisation performance

Description

mclachlan2021_metrics(...) returns psychoacoustic performance parameters for experimental response patterns. doa is a struct where actual and estimated directions of arrival must be provided.

The metrics struct contains the following fields:

.reversal_fb Percentage of front-back reversals, omitting small errors occurring within 10 degrees of the plane dividing the hemifields
.reversal_ud Percentage of up-down reversals, omitting small errors occurring within 10 degrees of the plane dividing the hemifields
.rmsL Lateral root mean squared error
.rmsP Polar root mean squared error, omitting reversals and restricted to directions within 35 degrees of the vertical midline
