Median-of-reversals MAA estimation is more robust than Levitt when subjects perform unreliably

Evidence

The final MAA threshold estimate was calculated based on the median of the last three lower reversal points during a run. On average, this method provides a threshold value, which is lower than that produced by e.g. Levitt ( 1971 ) or Neher et al. ( 2011 ). However, data inspection indicated that both of these alternate methods could lead to misleading results if a test subject had been performing unreliably during parts of the run. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3052
