Sparseness can be calculated as lifetime kurtosis (LTK, Willmore and Tolhurst, 2001) or as lifetime sparseness (LTS, Bhandawat et al., 2007).
Arguments
- x
numerical input vector
- method
type of sparseness measure, either 'ltk' for lifetime kurtosis or 'lts' for lifetime sparseness (see references).
