% Arguments:

%   + annotations: heartbeat sample location.
% 
%   + realization_limit: limits of the heartbeat with respect to
%   annotations(i) - realization_limit(1) to annotations(i) +
%   realization_limit(2).  
% 
%   + outliers_proportion: Proportions of outliers to assume, and discard
%   from the template calculation. 
% 
%   + bRobust: Calculate the template with median instead of mean.
% 
% Output:
% 
%   + best_esemble_avg: The best template found.
% 
%   + min_anns_refined: The refined location of the selected heartbeats,
%   without outliers. 
% 
%   + all_anns_matched_with_BEA: The refined location of the selected heartbeats,
%   with outliers.
