CHEN2011 - Fast excitation pattern estimation

Program code:

function [Ldn,E,Cam,CF] = chen2011(inputF,inputLdB,varargin)
%CHEN2011  Fast excitation pattern estimation
%   Usage: [Ldn,E,Cam,CF] = chen2011(inputF,inputLdB)
%
%
%
%   Input parameters:
%     inputF           : vector of input frequency values
%     inputLdB         : vector of input level
%
%   Output parameters:
%     Ldn              : loudness
%     E                : excitation at the output of the passive filter
%     Cam              : ERB-number in Cams (Glasberg and Moore, 1990; Moore, 2003)
%     CF               : center frequency of auditory filters
%
%
%   CHEN2011 provides a fast way of loudness estimation.
%
%   Optional parameters:
%
%     'HLcf',HLcf                parameters to simulate hearing loss: audiogram frequencies
%
%     'HLohcdB0',HLohcdB0        parameters to simulate hearing loss: OHC loss at audiogram frequencies
%
%     'HLihcdB0',HLihcdB0        parameters to simulate hearing loss: IHC loss at audiogram frequencies
%
%     'cambin',cambin            spacing [ERB] between successive auditory filter CFs
%
%     'flow',flow                lowest center frequency of an auditory filter
%
%     'fhigh',fhigh              highest center frequency of an auditory filter
%
%   Moreover, the model supports 3 flags for outer ear correction ('FreeField', 'PDR10', 'Eardrum').
