Maximum-likelihood estimation improves CLS accuracy over adaptive medians

Evidence

The average root mean squared error (RMSE) (fixed-level data used as baseline) for the median of the adaptive stimulus-level technique was 6.7 dB, and the average RMSE for the ML estimate, based on the same adaptive technique data, was 4.2 dB. The ML MCPF estimate improves the accuracy of the resulting CLS function and provides a probabilistic model of the listener’s loudness perception. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2512
