Hi all,
say I have two images, r(ed) and g(reen), and I want to know how
colocalized these colours are. I do c1=correlate(r,g). if c is close
to 1 then there is a lot of colocalization, if c~0 then there is none,
if c~-1 then some joker just gave me the same image twice, inverting
one of the copies! (usually, one calculates c on a ROI...)
I am trying to figure out how to do something similar when a b(lue)
image is added to the mix. I could do them pairwise, but that means
for each set, I would end up with three numbers...
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Gianguido

No no, still need 3 numbers! doh!

Grazie for the reply Paolo... ;-)
I guess if you consider a triangle with side lengths C_ab, C_ac, and
C_bc, where these are the correlation coefficients, you can describe
the triangle with only two numbers if you put one apex at the origin
and one side along an axis... hmmm.
Anyway thanks again,
Gianguido

Well, considering that you have 3 possibilities:
- all 3 correlated
- 2 correlated, one not
- none are correlated
I don't think anything less than 3 numbers would be enough anyway...
Ciao,
