Partition_Asymmetry

Soma_Surface
This is computed only on bifurcation. If n1 is the number of tips on the left and n2 on the right. Asymmetry return abs(n1-n2)/(n1+n2-2).
Formula : |n1 - n2|
(n1 + n2 - 2)


Function Output Type : Real

Calculated : At each bifurcation point

Returns a value : For each branch

Command Line Usage Function : "-f27, 0, 0, 10.0"

Output:
Metric Total_Sum #Compartments
(considered)		 #Compartments
(discarded)		 Minimum Average Maximum S.D.
Partition_Asymmetry 61 102 (1452) 0 0.6 1 0.44377
*All units are ratios

Values to consider : All

Output Interpretation :

Asymmetry is: |n1-n2|/(n1+n2 -2)
i.e. n1=3 (red points)
n2=1(azure point)
A=|3-1|/(3+1-2)=1

Total_Sum = 61 gives Total_Sum, Minimum = 0 gives minimum, Maximum = 1 gives maximum for given input neuron
