betasVectorDefault {ConnMatTools}

Compute vector of beta values

Description

Helper function to compute a set of beta values using formula used in Jacobi et al. (2012).

Usage

betasVectorDefault(n, steps = 10, cycles = 3/4, coeff = 0.8, pwr = 3)

Arguments

n

numerator of formula from Jacobi et al. (2012). Normally will be the number of columns in the connectivity matrix if one normalizes the columns (otherwise, it would typically be N^2 / sum(conn.mat), where N is the number of columns of conn.mat.

steps

number of beta values to return. Defaults to 10.

cycles

how many cycles of 2*pi to do.

coeff

coefficient in front of sine function

pwr

exponent in denominator

Value

vector of beta values
