N_stems
This function returns the number of
stems attached to the soma. When the type of the Compartment changes
from type=1 to others it is labeled a stem. These stems can also be
considered as independent subtrees for subtree level analysis.
Function Output Type : Boolean
Calculated : At each point that is connected to soma
Returns a value : For each branch
Output:
| Metric | Total_Sum | #Compartments (considered) |
#Compartments (discarded) |
Minimum | Average | Maximum | S.D. |
| N_stems | 3 | 3 | (8) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Values to consider : Total_sum
Output Interpretation :
Since its a boolean function, the user should use total
sum. Minimum, Average and Maximum values are all the same and are
irrelevant.
