Bif_tilt_local

This function returns the angle between the previous compartment of bifurcating father and the two daughter compartments of the same bifurcation. The smaller of the two angles is returned as the result.

Tilt is measured as outer angle between parent and child compartments. L-Measure returns smaller angle of the two children, but intuitively this can be viewed as the angle of deflection of the parent orientation compared to the orientation of the mid line of the bifurcation amplitude angle.
(i.e.) new tilt(NT) = pi - 1/2 Bif_ampl_local - old tilt(OT)

Function Output Type : Real

Calculated : At each bifurcation point

Returns a value : For each bifurcation

Output:

Metric	Total_Sum	#Compartments (considered)	#Compartments (discarded)	Minimum	Average	Maximum	S.D.
Bif_tilt_local	12330.6	90	(1012)	20.7363	137.006	175.093	22.8018

*All units are degree.

Values to consider : ALL

Output Interpretation :

The the Total_Sum of the Bif_tilt_local doesn't make sense.

Total_Sum = 12330.6 gives Total_Sum, Minimum = 20.7363 gives minimum, Maximum = 175.093 gives maximum for given input neuron.

Minimum, average and maximum values are meaningful for Bif_tilt_local.
