Figure 1. Examples of reduction of fixed-SNR testing data points to obtain the SNR50: The sigmoid (red curve) was fitted using an iterative, least-squares Levenburg-Marquart (L-M) method from all four points, three intermediate and the maximum, to give the SNR50 (short red line); three analytic sigmoid estimates of the SNR50 were calculated from two intermediate points and maximum (short black lines); the linear fit gives a large error in estimating the SNR50 when using intermediate data points 1 and 3 (e.g. short gold line).
