Abstract

The common-slope model is used to model late reverberation of complex room geometries such as multiple coupled rooms. The model fits band-limited room impulse responses using a set of common decay rates, with amplitudes varying based on listener positions. This paper investigates amplitude estimation methods within the common-slope model framework. We compare several traditional least squares estimation methods and propose using LINEX regression, a Maximum Likelihood approach using log-squared RIR statistics. Through statistical analysis and simulation tests, we demonstrate that LINEX regression improves accuracy and reduces bias when compared to traditional methods.
