Measuring the similarity of SMLM-derived point-clouds
Single-molecule localisation microscopy produces data in the form of point-clouds. Here, we present a tool for assessing the similarity of two such point-clouds, which, unlike measures such as co-localisation, is insensitive to differences that are not preserved between data sets. The presented method can determine whether two point-clouds were generated from the same conditions and can identify from which of two experimental conditions an unseen point-cloud was likely derived.
