SIG_HASSAGER2016 - spectral smoothing algorithm from Hassager et al. (2016)

Program code:

function y = sig_hassager2016(x,B,fs)
%SIG_HASSAGER2016 spectral smoothing algorithm from Hassager et al. (2016)
%   Usage:    y = sig_hassager2016(x,B,fs)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     x   : binaural impulse response(s); SOFA object or matrix with time 
%           as first matrix dimension.
%     B   : bandwidth factor. B=1 represents 1 ERB
%     fs  : sampling rate; required only of x is not a SOFA object
%
%   Output parameters:
%     y   : smoothed version of x.
%
%   SIG_HASSAGER2016(...) is an algortihm for spectral
%   smoothing based on gammatone filters with a variable bandwidth B.
