Source code

In order to understand the source code, you should first read the manuscript. To find the pdf-file, please follow the link at the top of this page.

Below you find a Zip-File with all source codes. This includes the function: Andrzejak_PRE_90_062906_MeasureS.m, which calculates the rank-based nonlinear prediction score for spike trains S. To understand how to use it, we recommend to have a look at the function Andrzejak_PRE_90_062906_CALL.m. This allows you to calculate S for the different parameters, systems, and settings as used in Figure 1a-e of our paper. In particular, it calls also the scripts that generate our models, superimposes the spike trains with noise, and so on. Using this script, you should be able to reproduce our Figure 1a-e. 

The source is only partly commented. If you have problems in understanding how certain parts of the code work, please contact us. We will try to comment the corresponding part of the code and upload a new version.

Before publishing the source code, we have simplified it and changed variable names to allow for a better understanding. We are confident that, also with these simplifications, the source code contains no bugs. However, if you encounter problems or bugs, please contact us.
