BAUMGARTNER2014SIMILARITYESTIMATION - - Similarity estimation with listener-specific sensitivity

Program code:

function si = baumgartner2014similarityestimation(sigma,varargin)
%BAUMGARTNER2014SIMILARITYESTIMATION - Similarity estimation with listener-specific sensitivity
%   Usage:     si = baumgartner2014similarityestimation(sigma)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     sigma   : internal distance metrics
%
%   Output parameters:
%     si      : similarity indices
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014SIMILARITYESTIMATION(...) maps internal distance
%   metrics to similarity indices according to listener-specific
%   sensitivity
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014SIMILARITYESTIMATION accepts the following optional parameters:
%
%     '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.
