Program code:

function difSTD=georganti2013(signal,P)
%GEORGANTI2013 Distance estimation
%   Usage: difSTD = georganti2013(signal, P)
%
%   Input parameters:
%       signal : binaural input signal
%
%       P.fs: sampling rate in Hz
%
%       P.timeFr: Frame size in seconds
%
%       P.fmin: lower frequency (Hz) for the BSDM STD calculation
%
%       P.fmax: upper frequency (Hz) for the BSDM STD calculation
%
%   Output parameters:
%       difSTD: Binaural spectral-magnitude difference standard deviation (dB)
