spiketools.measures.spikes.compute_fano_factor(spike_train)

Compute the fano factor of a spike train.

Parameters:

spike_train1d array

Spike train.

Returns:

fanofloat

Fano factor.

Examples

Compute the fano factor from a spike train:

>>> spike_train = [0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]
>>> compute_fano_factor(spike_train)
0.5
