%
% Created by hacking a copy of QuestDemo.m, in order to
% do some simulations for Beau Watson.
%
% 128 repetitions of each condition
% Quest assumes LogWeibull psychometric function with parameters:
% beta = {1.5, 2., 2.5, 3., 3.5, 4., 4.5, 5., 5.5} (in separate conditions)
% gamma = 0.03
% delta = .01
% sample range = {-30,30} dB
% sample step size 0.5 dB
% Prior is always Gaussian, sd=12 dB, centered on guess.
% Initial guess drawn from Normal distribution with mean 0 and sd=6 dB.
% Quest uses mode of posterior density.
% Simulated observer has LogWeibull psychometric function with parameters:
% {beta=3.5,gamma=.03,delta=.01}
%
%
% By commenting and uncommenting five lines below, you can use
% this file to implement three QUEST-related procedures for measuring
% threshold.
%
% QuestMode: In the original algorithm of Watson & Pelli (1983)
% each trial and the final estimate are at the MODE of the posterior pdf.
%
% QuestMean: In the improved algorithm of King-Smith et al. (1994).
% each trial and the final estimate are at the MEAN of the posterior pdf.
%
% QuestQuantile & QuestMean: In the ideal algorithm of Pelli (1987)
% each trial is at the best QUANTILE, and the final estimate is at
% the MEAN of the posterior pdf.
