LECLERE2015 - Compute the binaural useful-to-detrimental ratio for a reverberated target

Usage

[twoears_benefit, weighted_bmld, weighted_better_ear] = leclere2015(target_in,int_in,fs)

Input parameters

`target_in`	target
`int_in`	interferer
`fs`	sampling frequency [Hz]

Output parameters

`twoears_benefit`	useful-to-detrimental ratio
`weighted_bmld`	weighted binaural masking level difference
`weighted_better_ear`
	weighted better ear advantage

Description

leclere2015 computed the binaural useful-to-detrimental ratio for a reverberated target and multiple stationary noise interferers. The early and late parts of the target BRIR are separated, the early part constitutes the useful signal while the late part is concatenated with the interferer BRIRs to constitute the detrimental signal.
