JOERGENSEN2013 - Speech-based envelope power spectrum (multi-resolution EPSM)

Program code:

function output = joergensen2013(x,y,fs_input,IO_param)
%JOERGENSEN2013  Speech-based envelope power spectrum (multi-resolution EPSM)
%   Usage: output = joergensen2013(x, y, fs, IO_param)
%
%   Input parameters:
%
%     x        : noisy speech mixture 
%     y        : noise alone
%     fs       : sample rate in Hz
%     IO_param : (optional) vector with parameters for the ideal observer 
%                that converts the SNRenv to probability of correct, assuming a
%                given speech material. It contains four parameters of the ideal observer 
%                formatted as [k q m sigma_s].
%
%   Output parameters:
%
%     output   : output structure
%                The output structure has the following fields:
%
%                - .SNRenv : The SNRenv
%
%                - .P_correct : The probability of correct given the
%                  SNRenv. This field is only included if IO_param is specified.
%                  Its calculation requires the Statistics ToolBox. 
%
%   output = JOERGENSEN2013(x, y, fs, IO_param) calculates the 
%   signal-to-noise envelope-power.
%
%
%   Model parameter (Note: T_int (ms) should be a multiple of 1000/f == 2)
%   Begin of the storage of the cross-correlation is set to 1, because we have a
%   non-stationar (SNRenv) ratio using the 
%   multi-resolution speech-based envelope spectrum model (mr-sEPSM)
%   described in Joergensen et al. (2013).
%   The main difference between to the Joergensen et al. (2011) 
%   model is that the present model estimates the envelope power
%   using multi-resolution segmentation of the envelope. The segment
%   duration depends on the modulation filter center-frequency. In addition,
%   the modulation filter bank includes filters up to modulation frequencies
%   of 256 Hz in contrast to the 64 Hz considered by the model from
%   Joergensen et al. (2011).
%
%   The model is based on the model from Joergensen et al. (2011), which consists of the following stages:
%
%   1 A gammatone bandpass filterbank to simulate the auditory filters
%
%   2 An envelope extraction stage via the Hilbert Transform
%
%   3 A modulation filterbank
%  
%   4 Computation of the long-term envelope power (*output.SNRenv*)
%
%   5 A decision mechanism based on a statistically ideal observer (*output.P_correct*)
