¶
Calculate basic MUs properties on a trapezoidal contraction.
The function is meant to be used on trapezoidal contractions and calculates: the absolute/relative recruitment/derecruitment thresholds, the discharge rate at recruitment, derecruitment, during the steady-state phase and during the entire contraction, the coefficient of variation of interspike interval, the coefficient of variation of force signal.
Accuracy measures, MVC and steadiness are also returned.

TYPE:
|
n_firings_rt_dert
|
The number of firings used to calculate recruitment/derecruitment thresholds. If n_firings_rt_dert = 1, the threshold is the value of the reference signal at the instant in which the firing happens. If n_firings_rt_dert > 1, the threshold is the average value of the reference signal at the instants in which the n consecutive firings happen.

n_firings_RecDerec
|
The number of firings at recruitment and derecruitment to consider for the calculation of the DR.
TYPE:

|
The number of firings to consider for the calculation of the DR at the start and at the end of the steady-state phase.
TYPE:

TYPE:

idr_range
|
If idr_range is a list [lower_limit, upper_limit], only firings with an instantaneous discharge rate (IDR) within the limits are used for DR and coefficient of variation of interspike interval (COVisi) calculation. lower_limit and upper_limit should be in pulses per second. See compute_dr() examples section. If idr_range is None, all the firings are used for DR calculation.
TYPE:
|
accuracy
|
The accuracy measure to return.
TYPE:
|
ignore_negative_ipts

This parameter determines the silhouette score estimation. If True, only positive ipts values are used during peak and noise clustering. This is particularly important for compensating sources with large negative components. This parameter is considered only when accuracy=="SIL" or accuracy=="SIL_PNR".
TYPE:

constrain_pulses
|
This parameter determines the PNR estimation. If constrain_pulses[0]==True, the times of firing are considered those in mupulses +- the number of samples specified in constrain_pulses[1]. If constrain_pulses[0]==False, the times of firing are estimated via a heuristic penalty funtion (see Notes in compute_pnr()). constrain_pulses[1] must be an integer (see Notes in compute_pnr() for instructions on how to set the appropriate value).
TYPE:
