Table 1.
The values of the overall scaling factor “D” that were used in the data fitting are given in this table along with the formula for calculating D analytically in the special case of masking arrays with one or more maskers at the target location.
| Any maskers at target location? | D | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | 10*log 10(N∕n) | N = number of maskers in array; n = number of maskers at target location (0<n≤N) |
| No | Speech maskers (D can vary by paradigm and number of maskers) | |
