baumgartner2013pmv2ppp - PMV to PPP conversion

Program code:

function [ varargout ] = baumgartner2013pmv2ppp( p,varargin )
%baumgartner2013pmv2ppp PMV to PPP conversion
%   Usage:  [ qe,pe,eb ] = baumgartner2013pmv2ppp( p,tang,rang );
%           [ qe,pe,eb ] = baumgartner2013pmv2ppp( p,tang,rang,exptang );
%
%   Input parameters:
%     p          : prediction matrix (response PMVs)
%     tang       : possible polar target angles. As default, ARI's MSP 
%                  polar angles in the median SP is used.
%     rang       : polar angles of possible response angles.
%                  As default regular 5 deg.-sampling is used (-30:5:210).    
%
%   Output parameters:
%     qe         : quadrant error rate
%     pe         : local polar RMS error in degrees
%     eb         : elevation bias in degrees; QEs and up-rear quadrant excluded
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2013PMV2PPP(...) retrieves commonly used PPPs (Psychoacoustic performance
%   parameters) for sagittal-plane (SP) localization like quadrant error
%   (QEs), local polar RMS error (PE), and elevation bias (EB) from
%   response PMVs (probability mass vectors) predicted by a localization
%   model. PPPs are retreived either for a specific polar target angle or as
%   an average across all available target angles. The latter is the
%   default.
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2013PMV2PPP needs the following optional parameter in order to retrieve
%   the PPPs for a specific (set of) target angles:
%
%     'exptang', exptang   experimental polar target angles
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2013PMV2PPP accepts the following flag:
%
%     'print'      Display the outcomes.
%
%   Example:
%   ---------
%
%   To evaluate chance performance of QE and PE use :
%
%     [qe,pe] = baumgartner2013pmv2ppp(ones(49,49));
