%BAUMGARTNER2014_BINAURALWEIGHTING Binaural combination of monaural similarity estimates
% Usage: sibin = baumgartner2014_binauralweighting(simon)
%
% Input parameters:
% simon : monaural similarity indices
%
% Output parameters:
% sibin : monaural similarity indices
%
% BAUMGARTNER2014_BINAURALWEIGHTING(...) combines the monaural
% similarity indices to binaural similartiy indices while accounting for
% ipsilateral predominance.
%
% BAUMGARTNER2014_BINAURALWEIGHTING accepts the following optional parameters:
%
% 'bwcoef',bwc Set the binaural weighting coefficient bwc.
% Default value is 13 degrees.
%
% 'lat',lat Set the apparent lateral angle of the target sound to
% lat. Default value is 0 degree (median SP).
