- % Local Estimation a spike firing rate (in spikes per unit time).
- %
- % The estimation procedure approximates the log of the spike firing
- % rate by a quadratic polynomial, within a sliding window.
- %
- % The first argument to locfit() is a column vector of the spike times.
- % 'family','rate' specifies that the output of the density estimate should
- % be in terms of events per unit time. (instead of the default, statistical
- % density estimation).
- %
- % 'alpha',0.6 specifies the width of the sliding windows, as a fraction of
- % the total spikes.
- %
- % xlim gives the limits of the observation interval. Correct specification
- % of this is critical to avoid introducing bias at end-points.
- %
- % The lfband(fit) line adds confidence bands (based on pointwise 95%
- % coverage) to the plot.
- %
- % The spike time data is from Hemant Bokil.
