Probabilistic listener models enable simulation and information-theoretic analysis.

Evidence

The most common usage for probabilistic listener models is to simulate listener behavior for the development of experiments or listening devices. Probabilistic models also allow one to apply concepts from detection, information, and estimation theory to the analysis of results and the methodology of the experiment. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2512

In this paper, we show how a catalog of MCPFs can be used to find the ML estimate of a listener’s MCPF, when a relatively small number of experimental trials are available. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2565
