Variations on Marill's Detection Formula
William James McGill · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1968
Marill's expression for the psychometric function generated by pure tones in noise, and based on ideal detection, is shown to be obtainable directly from energy fluctuations of a narrow-band noise. The formula is then generalized to wide-band noise. Estimates of effective bandwidth using detection data are reexamined in the light of such findings.
