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.

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 error. 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 simplify2array for further details.

...

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.
