Unconverged adaptive measurement runs are excluded as unusable data

Evidence

Prior to analysis, the collected data were inspected. The subjective visual inspection of the adaptive MAA measurements pointed out 6 test runs, from which no reliable result could be extracted, as a performance plateau was never reached. These data points were removed. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3104
