MOORE2016_SHORTTERMSPECLOUDNESS
calculates the short-term specific loudness

Program code:

function [ShortTermSpecificLoudness, ShortTermLoudness] = moore2016_shorttermspecloudness( InstantaneousSpecificLoudness )
%MOORE2016_SHORTTERMSPECLOUDNESS calculates the short-term specific loudness
%   
%
%   Input parameters:
%     InstantaneousSpecificLoudness : monaural instantaneous specific loudness
%
%   Output parameters:
%     ShortTermSpecificLoudness : short term specific loudness
%     ShortTermLoudness         : short term loudness
%
%   This code calculates the short term specific loudness for the binaural 
%   loudness model moore2016 in the version for TVL 2016 based on ANSI S3.4-2007 and Moore & Glasberg (2007).
