TABUCHI2016_ESTIMATETHRESHOLD - Estimates the masked threshold

Program code:

function [Kave, ThresEstVec] = tabuchi2016_estimatethreshold(kfunc, kvals)
%TABUCHI2016_ESTIMATETHRESHOLD Estimates the masked threshold              
%   Usage: [Kave, ThresEstVec] = tabuchi2016_estimatethreshold(kfunc, kvals)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     kfunc     : k function (k decision variable)
%     kvals     : k values (k decision variable)
%
%   Output parameters:
%     Kave         : k values averages
%     ThreshEstVec : estimated threshold in dB
%
%   estimates the threshold per masking condition
