calc_dists_dotprods: Calculate distances and dot products between two sets of neurons

Description

Calculate distances and dot products between two sets of neurons

Usage

calc_dists_dotprods(query_neurons, target_neurons, subset = NULL,
  ignoreSelf = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

query_neurons

a neuronlist to use for calculating distances and dot products.

target_neurons

a further neuronlist to use for calculating distances and dot products.

subset

a data.frame specifying which neurons in query_neurons and target_neurons should be compared, with columns specifying query and target neurons by name, with one row for each pai

ignoreSelf

a Boolean indicating whether to ignore comparisons of a neuron against itself (default TRUE).

...

extra arguments to pass to NeuriteBlast.

Value

• A list, one element for for pair of neurons with a 2 column data.frame containing one column of distances and s secon of absolute dot products.

Details

Distances and dot products are the raw inputs for constructing scoring matrices for the nblast search algorithm.
