spykesim is a Python module that offers functions for measuring the similarity between two segmented multi-neuronal spiking activities.

Extended edit similarity measurement is implemented. You can find details in the following paper.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fninf.2019.00039

This library is re-implementation of the algorithm. The original implementation can be found inthis repo.

This library tested on Ubuntu and MacOS.

For Windows users: Please consider to use Ubuntu viaWindows Subsystem for Linux.

If you do not have Python3.7 on your environment, you may useAnaconda.

Cython andNumpy needs to be preinstalled as these will be used in the installation process.

If you have not installed these packages, run the following:

pip install numpy cython

You can install this library via pip as well:

pip install spykesim

or you may clone and build by yourself:

git clone https://github.com/KeitaW/spykesim.gitcd spykesimpython setup.py build_ext --inplace install
