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 pair. If unspecified, this defaults to an all-by-all comparison.
ignoreSelf	a Boolean indicating whether to ignore comparisons of a neuron against itself (default TRUE).
...	extra arguments to pass to NeuriteBlast.

Details

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

Value

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