method |
The method used to compute similarity between features. The following methods are available: - correlation (default): Pearson correlation of the fraction_detected - cosine: Cosine similarity/distance of the fraction_detected - euclidean: Euclidean distance of average measurement (e.g. expression) - manhattan: Taxicab/Manhattan/L1 distance of average measurement - log-euclidean: Log the average measurement with a pseudocount of 0.001, then compute euclidean distance. This tends to highlight sparsely measured features |
A dataframe of similar features and their distances from the focal feature according to the method chosen
