\begin{questions}
|
|
\question The Fano factor $\frac{\sigma^2}{\mu}$ is a common measure
|
|
in neural coding because a Poisson process---for which each spike is
|
|
independent of every other---has a Fano factor of one.
|
|
|
|
The table contains spike counts from a neuron measured in twelve
|
|
trials.

\multicolumn{4}{c}{\bf number of spikes} \\ \hline\\

36.00 & 28.00 & 38.00 & 35.00\\
|
|
32.00 & 30.00 & 35.00 & 29.00\\

29.00 & 24.00 & 26.00 & 34.00

\part Use {\em Eden, U. T., \& Kramer, M. (2010). Drawing
|
|
inferences from Fano factor calculations. Journal of
|
|
neuroscience methods, 190(1), 149--152} to construct a test that
|
|
uses the Fano factor as test statistic and tests against the Null
|
|
hypothesis that the spike counts come from a Poisson process.
|
|
\part Plot the spike counts appropriately.
|
|
\part Implement the test and use that it on the data above.
