probability or statistics - Radial distribution function (pair correlation function) for particles in rectangular image


Some time ago I asked the following question on how to calculate the radial distribution function.


I have here an add-on question, but before asking it I try to summarize and visualize my problem.



As input I have an image where particles are seen as bright dots:


enter image description here



After determining the positions of all particles, by e.g following code:


pts = ComponentMeasurements[Binarize@ImageSubtract
   [image, BilateralFilter[image, 4, 1]], "Centroid"];

the next step is to calculate the radial distribution function:



The radial density distribution counts the number of points in a distance between $r$ and $r +\Delta r$ from each considered central point (below one marked as red). The area of such a "shell" is $2\pi r \Delta r$. The density distributions are averaged for all center points and then normalized by the total point density times the ring area for each radius.



enter image description here




It is important that the maximum radius (the maximum shell) for each center point does not cross the edges of the available point coordiantes (corresponding to the range defined by the smallest and largest x and y point value). That means that a point close to the edges has a maller maximum radius (smallest distance to the next edge) than a center point (for a square: maximum radius = half of the diagonal).




RunnyKines solution was:


radialDistributionFunction2D[pts_?MatrixQ, boxLength_Real, nBins_: 350] :=
 Module[{gr, r, binWidth = boxLength/(2 nBins), npts = Length@pts, rho},
  rho = npts/boxLength^2; (* area number density *)
  {r, gr} = HistogramList[(*compute and bin the distances between points of interest*)
             Flatten @ DistanceMatrix @ pts, {0.005, boxLength/4., binWidth}];
  r = MovingMedian[r, 2]; (* take center of each bin as r *)

  gr = gr/(2 Pi r rho binWidth npts); (* normaliza g(r) *)
  Transpose[{r, gr}] (* combine r and g(r) *)
 ]

rdf = radialDistributionFunction2D[pts, 1023.];
ListLinePlot[rdf, PlotRange ->{{0, 150}, All}, Mesh -> 80]

enter image description here



My question is:



How can I consider all points as center points. Particles in rings which cross the edge of the image should also be taken into acount. The maximum radius of each point is depending on its distance to the next edge of the image. That would improve the statistics for the small distances (less than a quarter of the whole image).



Answer



The range of the bins for your image is 0 to Sqrt[2] 1024 with bin size say binSz = 1/5.


If two points are uniformily distributed in the unit square, their distance has density:


pdf[z_] = Piecewise[{{2 z (π + (z - 4) z), z <= 1}, {4 z (2 Sqrt[z^2 - 1] - 1 - z^2/2 +
                    ArcCsc[z] - ArcTan[Sqrt[z^2 - 1]]), 1 < z < Sqrt[2]}}, 0]

Scaling the bins down by the image size and integrating the PDF over each scaled bin, we get the expected amount of distance matrix entries in each bin (relatively/unnormalized).


imSz = 1024;
binSz = 1/5;


expected = With[{cdf = Integrate[pdf[z], z],
                 jumps = Range[0, Ceiling[Sqrt[2], binSz/imSz], binSz/imSz]},
             Differences[Table[cdf, {z, N[jumps, 20]}]]];

We obtain an unnormalized density by dividing the amount of distance matrix entries in each bin by expected.


counts = Counts[Quotient[Join @@ DistanceMatrix[pts], binSz]];
density = With[{quotients = Range[0, Floor[Sqrt[2] imSz/binSz]]},
             Lookup[counts, quotients, 0]/expected];


(* median distance for each bin *)
dists = MovingAverage[Range[0, Ceiling[Sqrt[2] imSz, binSz], binSz], 2];

Show[ListLinePlot[#, PlotRange -> All, AspectRatio -> 1/3, PlotStyle -> Red],
     ListPlot[#, PlotRange -> All, PlotStyle -> Directive[Black, AbsolutePointSize[3]]]] &[
         Transpose[{dists, density}][[2 ;; #]]] & /@ {600, -150}


Given some distance, pdf[x/imSz] express how much data there will be on average. Its square root express the relative reliability of the estimate w.r.t. the distance.


Plot[Sqrt[pdf[x/imSz]], {x, 0, Sqrt[2] imSz}, AspectRatio -> 1/4]



Edit: In the modification below, the bin widths are chosen such that the reliability integrated over each bin is the same for all bins, because bigger bins are appropriate when the reliability is low.


ClearAll[Q]; (* Anti-derivative of the reliability *)
Q[z_] = Q[z] /. First[NDSolve[{Derivative[1][Q][z] == Sqrt[pdf[z]],
     Q[0] == 0}, Q[z], {z, 0, Sqrt[2]}, InterpolationOrder -> All]];

binCount = 3500;
jumps = Module[{linear = Subdivide[0., Sqrt[2.], binCount],
       pos, Qvals = Take[Subdivide[0., Q[Sqrt[2.]], binCount], {2, -2}]},

   pos = Ordering[Ordering[Join[Q[linear], Qvals]], -#] - Range[#] &[Length[Qvals]];
   Join[x /. MapThread[FindRoot[Q[x] - #, {x, 0.5 (#2 + #3), #2, #3}] &,
       {Qvals, linear[[pos]], Rest[linear][[pos]]}], {Sqrt[2.], 0.}] // RotateRight];

expected = With[{cdf = Integrate[pdf[z], z]}, Differences[Table[cdf, {z, jumps}]]];

counts = Differences[Ordering[Ordering[Join[Drop[Catenate[DistanceMatrix[
          Developer`ToPackedArray[pts]]], {1, -1, Length[pts] + 1}],
           Developer`ToPackedArray[N[imSz jumps]]]], -Length[jumps]]] - 1;


(* bin medians and mass *)
dists = imSz MovingAverage[jumps, 2];
density = counts/expected;

With[{data = Transpose[{dists, density}]}, Show[
  ListLinePlot[data, PlotRange -> All, AspectRatio -> 1/3, PlotStyle -> Red],
  ListPlot[data, PlotRange -> All, PlotStyle -> Directive[Black, AbsolutePointSize[1.5]]],
  PlotRange -> {{0.`, imSz Sqrt[2.]}, {0.`, 1.5*10^8}}]]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
