NeuriteBlast: Produce similarity score for neuron morphologies

Description

A low-level entry point to the NBLAST algorithm that compares the morphology of a neuron with those of a list of other neurons. For most use cases, one would probably wish to use nblast instead.

Usage

NeuriteBlast(query, target, targetBinds = NULL, normalised = FALSE,
  OmitFailures = NA, simplify = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

query
either a single query neuron or a neuronlist
target
a neuronlist to compare neuron against.
targetBinds
numeric indices or names with which to subset target.
normalised
whether to divide scores by the self-match score of the query
OmitFailures
Whether to omit neurons for which FUN gives an error. The default value (NA) will result in nblast stopping with an error message the moment there is an eror. For other values, see details.
simplify
whether to simplify the scores from a list to a vector. TRUE by default. The only time you might want to set this false is if you are collecting something other than simple scores from the search function. See
...
extra arguments to pass to the distance function.

Value

  • Named list of similarity scores.

Details

For detailed description of the OmitFailures argument, see the details section of nblast.
