Summary of Numerical Results
The following information is available in the Summary of Numerical Results
Column Description
Variable Variable name.
Reference Reference variable name.
YMin Y axis minimum.
YMax Y axis maximum.
Mean Hist. Mean of all the correlation values for this variable.
St. Dev. Hist Standard deviation of all the correlation values for this variable.
St. Eff. Mean Hist Standard error of mean of all the correlation values for this variable.
Algorithm
This analysis calculates standard correlograms for two (continuously recorded) vectors. For spike
trains and events, NeuroExplorer first calculates the rate histograms with the specified bin size, and
then calculates the correlations between the reference variable and the rate histogram.
If x[i], i=1,...N is the reference variable and y[i], i=1,...,N is another continuous variable or spike train
rate histogram, then
c[t] = Pearson correlation between vectors
{ x[1], x[2], …, x[N-t] }
and
{ y[t+1], y[t+2], …, y[N] }
