%BAUMGARTNER2014 Model for localization in sagittal planes
%   Usage:    [p,rang] = baumgartner2014( target,template )
%             [p,rang,tang] = baumgartner2014( target,template )
%             [p,rang,tang] = baumgartner2014( target,template,fs,S,lat,stim,fsstim )
%             [err,pred] = baumgartner2014( target,template,errorflag )

%   Input parameters:
%     target  : binaural impulse response(s) referring to the directional 
%               transfer function(s) (DFTs) of the target sound(s).
%               Option 1: given in SOFA format -> sagittal plane DTFs will 
%               be extracted internally. 
%               Option 2: binaural impulse responses of all available
%               listener-specific DTFs of the sagittal plane formated 
%               according to the following matrix dimensions: 
%               time x direction x channel/ear
%     template: binaural impulse responses of all available
%               listener-specific DTFs of the sagittal plane referring to
%               the perceived lateral angle of the target sound.
%               Options 1 & 2 equivalent to target.
%
%   Output parameters:
%     p       : predicted probability mass vectors for response angles 
%               with respect to target positions
%               1st dim: response angle
%               2nd dim: target angle
%     rang    : polar response angles (after regularization of angular 
%               sampling)
%     tang    : polar target angles (usefull if sagittal-plane HRTFs are
%               extracted directly from SOFA object)
%     err     : predicted localization error (acc. to performance measure
%               defined in errorflag*
%     pred    : structure with fields p, rang, tang*
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014(...) is a model for sound-source localization
%   in sagittal planes (SPs). It bases on the comparison of internal sound 
%   representation with a template and results in a probabilistic
%   prediction of polar angle response.
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014 accepts the following optional parameters:
%
%     'fs',fs        Define the sampling rate of the impulse responses. 
%                    Default value is 48000 Hz.
%
%     'S',S          Set the listener-specific sensitivity threshold 
%                    (threshold of the sigmoid link function representing 
%                    the psychometric link between transformation from the
%                    distance metric and similarity index) to S. 
%                    Default value is 1.
%
%     'gamma',G      Set the degree of selectivity 
%                    (slope of the sigmoid link function representing 
%                    the psychometric link between transformation from the
%                    distance metric and similarity index) to G. 
%                    Default value is 6.
%
%     'lat',lat      Set the apparent lateral angle of the target sound to
%                    lat. Default value is 0 degree (median SP).
%
%     'stim',stim    Define the stimulus (source signal without directional
%                    features). As default an impulse is used.
%
%     'fsstim',fss   Define the sampling rate of the stimulus. 
%                    Default value is 48000 Hz.
%
%     'flow',flow    Set the lowest frequency in the filterbank to
%                    flow. Default value is 700 Hz.
%
%     'fhigh',fhigh  Set the highest frequency in the filterbank to
%                    fhigh. Default value is 18000 Hz.
%
%     'space',sp     Set spacing of auditory filter bands (i.e., distance 
%                    between neighbouring bands) to sp in number of
%                    equivalent rectangular bandwidths (ERBs). 
%                    Default value is 1 ERB.
%
%     'do',do        Set the differential order of the spectral gradient 
%                    extraction to do. Default value is 1 and includes  
%                    restriction to positive gradients inspired by cat DCN
%                    functionality.
%
%     'bwcoef',bwc   Set the binaural weighting coefficient bwc.
%                    Default value is 13 degrees.
%
%     'polsamp',ps   Define the polar-angle sampling of the acoustic data
%                    provided for the current sagittal plane. As default the 
%                    sampling of ARI's HRTFs in the median SP is used, i.e.,
%                    ps = [-30:5:70,80,100,110:5:210] degrees.
%
%     'rangsamp',rs  Define the equi-polar sampling of the response predictions.
%                    The default is rs = 5 degrees.
%
%     'mrsmsp',eps   Set the motoric response scatter eps within the median 
%                    sagittal plane. Default value is 17 degrees.
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014 accepts the following flags:
%
%     'regular'      Apply spline interpolation in order to regularize the 
%                    angular sampling of the polar response angle. 
%                    This is the default.
%
%     'noregular'    Disable regularization of angular sampling.
%
%     'errorflag'    May be one of the error flags defined in
%                    BAUMGARTNER2014pmv2ppp or localizationerror.
