Noise cutoff (not currently implemented) ======================================== Calculation ----------- Metric describing whether an amplitude distribution is cut off, similar to _amp_cutoff :ref:`amplitude cutoff ` but without a Gaussian assumption. A histogram of amplitudes is created and quantifies the distance between the low tail, mean number of spikes and high tail in terms of standard deviations. A SpikeInterface implementation is not yet available. Expectation and use ------------------- Noise cutoff attempts to describe whether an amplitude distribution is cut off. The metric is loosely based on [Hill]_'s amplitude cutoff, but is here adapted (originally by [IBL]_) to avoid making the Gaussianity assumption on spike distributions. Noise cutoff provides an estimate of false negative rate, so a lower value indicates fewer missed spikes (a more complete unit).
