# Victor Purpura distance test data

This folder contains the data used for Victor Purpura unit tests. Specifically it contains data that got generated by the original matlab implementation for the Victor Purpura distance.

# Description

* `authors` -- list of authors and contributers


`scripts/`
* `generate_test_data_spiketrain_dissimilarity.py` -- Python script that generates spike times
* `generate_test_results.py` -- Python script that generates the results of the matlab implementation

`data/`
* `matlab_results_datatype.mat` -- contains results of the matlab implementation (in MATLAB format)
* `matlab_results_datatype.npy` -- contains results of the matlab implementation (in NumPy format)
* `times_datatype.mat` -- contains the generated spiketimes in the specific datatype (in MATLAB format)
* `times_datatype.npy` -- contains the generated spiketimes in the specific datatype (in NumPy format)

The matlab code that is used to generate the test results can be seen [here](http://www-users.med.cornell.edu/~jdvicto/spkdm.html) [1]
